If it's hot and red, you need to get the doctor to take a look, as there may be some infection present. If its just sore and puffy then it may help to use ice pack wrapped in damp tea towel on it for 10 - 15' x4 times day, and maybe topical anti -inflammatory gel (read the directions on the pack carefully). A good physio will be happy to take a look and advise you personally- always the best move. physioman is the swelling on the back of it? if so, its sounds like Olecranon Bursitis…
