How are you icing it? The elbow is a pretty complex joint.
If you are using ice packs, you aren't likely getting the ice to the areas you really need to reduce inflammation.
My 2 cents.... and this is not really comfortable.
Get a large bowl , fill it with some water and a lot of ice and "ice bath" you elbow.
I'm having to ice bath my elbow now because of some issues. I now remember how bad I hated this procedure from playing football, soccer, etc. in high school.
