I would take anything for it, physical therapy will help you decrease your pain.
While you can use over-the-counter medications, either topical or by mouth, if you are having chronic elbow pain, you really should be evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon to determine the diagnosis and guide treatment. While OTC medications such as Advil or Aleve may provide temporary benefit, they are not meant to be taken long-term without physician supervision.
