    I had a similar situation but it was in my knee though:

    Ibuprofen (or Vitamin I) reduces inflammation and since my symptoms were caused by an inflamed patellar tendon, this strategy makes sense. Still, I’m not a huge fan of pain killers so I tried to limit this to the first three days.

    oryou can try some fish oil, that helps for joint pain.

    I experienced that same feeling. I dunno where it came from, but it had a ? shook @ 1st. I would get the elbow pain and then a few months down the road, I began to get a shooting pain in my right shoulder (only when I was lifting). For the elbow pain, I just kinda took it easy and used some OTC pain meds here and there. For the shoulder, I actually had to end up going to the Dr's office and getting some prescription anti-inflammatory meds.

    I dunno what the problems were, but I haven't had any major pains in over a year & a half.

    Glutamine playmaker. I had the same pain as everyone that has posted and I was worried as ? because I didn't want to slow down my workouts. I mixed the glutamine in my water or added it to my protein shakes and in no time pain gone.
