what next for elbow tendonitis

what next for elbow tendonitis

Hi:
I have had severe tendonitis in my left elbow (dominant hand) for a couple of years.  Had 3 cortisone shots and can't get any more in that body part.   Orthopedic surgeon told me the next step would be surgery.  That was in the spring.  I have since been diagnosed with breast cancer and have undergone surgery, chemo and am currently doing radiation so I had to put the surgery for the elbow on the back burner for now.  

I am desperate for pain relief.  Is there anything else I can do in the meantime?
