Rest is the main thing. Alternate hot & cold pads can help stimulate blood flow to help healing. The injections should be a last resort; some people complain of the injection itself being very painful and it doesn't always work.

Tennis elbow (or lateral epicondylitis -- lat. epicondylitis lateralis humeri) is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender, usually as a result of a specific strain or overuse. Whilst it is called "tennis elbow", it should be noted that it is by no means restricted to tennis players. Anyone who does a lot of work involving lifting at the elbow or repetitive movements at the wrist is susceptible to the complaint. The condition was first described in 1883.
Although not founded in clinical research, the tennis player's treatment of choice is frequent icing and compression (Cold compression therapy) for inflammation, and taking anti-inflammatory pain-killers, such as ibuprofen. In general the evidence base for intervention measures is poor. A brace might also be recommended by a doctor to reduce the range of movement in the elbow and thus reduce the use and pain. Also, ergonomic considerations are important to help with the successful relief of lateral elbow pain.

I had a cortisone shot 5 weeks ago, my elbow felt fine for 3 weeks but then my elbow pain came roaring back worse than before the injection. I have been using this tennis elbow secrets program now for 5 days and my elbow feels much better. I can really feel my arm getting stronger as each day passes.
Cure Tennis Elbow?

I did a physiotherapy placement where they used Shockwave Therapy to treat stubborn conditions such as tennis elbow with an apparently high success rate.
I believe sound waves are directed at the area but it is not known exactly how they work on tendons. The aim of the treatment is to assist in healing of tears of the tendon.
Worth looking into if you've sufferred with this for a long time and other treatments have failed.

Lay off the sport for a while and then enquire at your GP's surgey about injections of corticosteroid into the elbow joint. It doesn't hurt, and will give relief almost immediately. Perhaps a repeat in 6 months.

rest.
when its fully rested, soak your elbow in warm water with vinegar, and do daily streches.
