The other and the reason for my posts is my elbows are sore constantly from all the lifting, I mean in the joint.
Any suggestions from the old pros out there?

Frank gives good advice there Silver. There are many products on the market that combine all into a few pills or a pack. I would be hesitant about taking NSAIDS unless it gets bad.
Might want to search in some of the past pages, there is a lot of talk about elbow sleeves ( which would be worth getting ), icy hot / muscle rubs, tendinitus and overuse issues / injuries. Could be one or more than one of them. Without much detail as to work performed, work load etc. It's hard to go off just "my elbows hurt" you could be performing exercises wrong, or maybe doing to much of one type ( extensions are notorious for elbow pain ).
