I would suggest advil. It won't hurt your body if you take two pills for twice a day for a week or even two weeks. The stories you hear about people hurting their kidney and liver are from people who take 8-10 pills/day for months and months. Also drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
You can also try icing it down.
Thanks for the input. The reason I am against simply using medication is that doing so hides the body's messaging system telling you to rest and as you may have read in my post, using pills meant that I didn't rest and did more damage to the tendons in my elbow.
Well as a future MD I must add something. Taking advil everyday will most likely result in developing Gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer. So I would suggest taking it up to the month. Take care! xX Karolina
Hi there @xxvjs.
I am in complete agreement with you. I took anti inflam's for a while but knew that it was not a long term solution. The purpose of writing this post was to see if anyone out there had knowledge of ways this condition can be treated without medication.
Best of luck with your studies xx
