Can someone suggest help for elbow pain?

I tripped and fell and my right arm went out automatically to keep be from face-planting. When I hit, my arm was locked straight.  I've had an x-ray and there is nothing cracked or broken, but I am still having a lot of pain 6 weeks later. Looking at bone/ligament/muscle structure online, the lateral epicondyle feels bruised and all the ligaments around it hurt. The muscles of my forearm immediately below the elbow all seem to still be in spasm, and I can't support any weight with that hand without fear of dropping whatever.

What can I do to get this to heal? The fall was March 1 and I really am tired of not being able to do much with my right arm. I'm right handed and it's really impairing.
