At first, the pain may be relieved by applying an ice bag wrapped in a cloth to avoid contact with the skin. The ice bag can be applied for 20 to 30 minutes at a time and again after an interval of about an hour.

The arm should be rested and any movement that causes the pain should be avoided.

Stretching exercises may help relieve the pain for a moment. The wrist must be bent all the way down and the hand kept down by the opposite hand. The elbow must be stretched out entirely and the forearm turned inwards so the fingertips point to the side. The stretch should be held for about 15 seconds then repeated after a brief interval. This should be repeated several times a day.

Bandaging and an epicondylitis clasp, which can be bought in many sports shops and pharmacies, sometimes help.

A doctor or physiotherapist can give more information about specific exercises.
