    Stretching is the only cure I have found. No fast fix AFAIK.

      I've seen some people wearing supports below/around the elbow, they are supposed to prevent it occurring but that a bit too late now

      Ibuprofen for now should ease the pain

        You want codeine for reducing the pain, and ibuprofen for reducing the swelling.

        Comes in a handy tablet called Nurofen Plus.

              The elbow supports are good if you need to continue playing and you can play through the pain, however, resting the elbow is the only way to cure it.

                I got it more from weight lifting/training rather than the tennis... but I don't really want to rest it for very long.

                How long have you had to rest it to get back close to 100%?

                  Is there a doctor in the house? A priceless cuk diagnosis is imminent I am sure.

                  FWIW I rested mine for 1.5 months before it got better. Daily stretching definitely helped in that time.
