Answer:
Ibuprofen such as Advil or Motrin are the best pain relievers for tennis elbow. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, so it will help reduce the pain and inflammation. I had tennis elbow for quite a long time and it did heal itself, finally. Hope you feel better soon, I know it's painful.
I have tennis elbow from pouring coffee for years. There is a brace you can buy at a drug store, but no meds, the only way to have it stop hurting is to stop doing the action. In my case it was lifting a coffee pot and pouring it. I haven't had pain since I quit that job!
Fish oil and Bromelain (both found at health food stores in the supplement section) help decrease inflammation.
you need to rest your arm...stop doing the same motion that caused this tennis elbow.
