As I can see that you have chronic pain . I want to know on pain scale from 0 to 10 how much you can scale. And it will be good if you can consult us in person because some times chronic pain requires thorough assessment. I will suggest you to go for ultrasonography for your elbow to see any adherence. But yes I am 100% sure that your this problem will only go with physiotherapy.
