Olecranon, I always loved that word
ice 20-30 min on 30 min off, repeat, don't do stuff that irritates it for a while, if you lived here I would give you some tubigrip, cylindrical compressive stuff, very handy, prefer it to ace wrap. You can also take a small paper cup, a dixie cup if you will, fill it up from 1/2 to 2/3 or even full with water, stick it in the freezer; when solid peel the paper back from the open end and rub on affected area. Don't do it for more than 5 or 10 minutes if applying directly or you will damage the skin, which can be a very bad thing. Cold injuries really suck, they are painful and can become a sensitivity to cold, think of it as severe allergic to cold. Hello Central America, hope you aren't blonde or red with hazel or blue eyes. You could just wear lots of sunscreen, I suppose, that is what I make my wife do.
Eat something, take ibuprofen 600-800 mg WITH FOOD 3 times a day or two alleve twice a day WITH FOOD
Take it easy
