5Elevate the Arm
Elevate your arm can help alleviate swelling caused by elbow pain. By propping up this part, the fluids in the body will not build up in the inflamed area. Ideally, you should keep the arm higher than your heart level to make sure fluids could be transported to other body parts. This can be done easily with the help of several pillows. When you are lying down or sitting, just prop up the elbow with these items. Another alternative is to put on an elbow strap, which can limit the movement and support the elbow. [5]
