hello ajay i think u r from andhrapradesh. any how don't worry. ur situation seems u need operation. but don't worry. now a days this operation is so simple and effective. doctors don't cut ur hand long. just a small hole. little longer than injection. but don't neglect. don't get anxiety first.

Any type of inflammation is going to take a couple of different approaches to control.  Medication to reduce the inflammation, possible antibiotics and maybe surgery to remove the underlying cause.

Doctors aren't always going to have an answer the first time around. It's a matter of eliminating possibilities until a correct diagnosis is found. And usually they will try to eliminate the simple explanations first. Such as tennis elbow.  

It sounds to me like you have tendinitis in your elbow (inflammation of the tendon) or bursitis (inflammation of the fluid filled sac between the tendon and the bone).   Both of which can be caused and exacerbated by trauma.  If you were provided medication from your doctor and then you continued to work out at the gym, or abuse your arms at work, then your elbow is not going to get better.  Rest your arm. Let it heal.  Constant movement of a similar nature (such as a tennis swing!) is only going to reirritate it until after it's completely healed.

Please continue working with your doctor.

Take care.
