Hi actually speaking Tennis elbow takes time to recover completley..
main modality of treatment is to take rest..give complete rest to your elbow for i say abt 3 to 4 weeks..only drugs wont help you..
and try giving some ice packing or hot compressors over ur elbow while on rest..u can give it to Ur shoulder too..
Thank u
speedy recovery
