(HealthDay News) -- Elbow pain can keep you from a normal daily life, says Harvard Medical School.

The school mentions these possible remedies for an aching elbow:

• Rest. Take a break from overusing the muscle group that may be behind elbow pain.
• Heat therapy. Heat can encourage healing by bringing blood flow and nutrients to the elbow.
• Stretching. Stretch out the muscles of the forearm.
• Bracing. Immobilize the muscles that may be causing pain, so they can heal.
