I went through this a few years ago and was sent to PT for treatments. The treatments plus some NSAIDS plus tincture of time made it go away completely. Also don't rest your elbow on a hard surface (elbows off the table), this aggravates the condition as it puts pressure on the ulnar nerve where it crosses over the elbow and gets inflamed. Cold packs helped too, as someone else said. Also as someone else said, I did see a very good chiropractor a few times.
The doctor I went to (PMR, physical medicine and rehabilitation) was talking about nerve transposition as a worst case scenario. I thought that there was no way I would go through such an intrusive and risky procedure and was determined to see it resolve non-surgically. It did. Good luck.
