Hello, This is elbow bursitis.Nees ti be treated with great care. Keep an eye on any infection fever or swelling. If not then Pain killers would do for a month or so and then when pain occurs Ice the elbow for 15-20,mons atleast twice aday. Wear elbow sleeve. Avoid pressure and strenuous work from that hand or shoulder. Physiotherapy and gentle stretches would help. It takes time to heal depending in how well one takes care of it. If all fails then steroid injections in the joint or surgery would be required

Anti inflammatory might help but I would prefer to get MRI of elbow if clinically indicated.
