Another elbow question

Hi Dr, and thanks so much for answering all my questions.  Your help goes a long way! I have been suffering recent left elbow pain.  Tender to palpation on the tip of the elbow and a little lateraly.  It has been red and slightly swollen.  It does not hurt when I climb and I only notice it when I massage the area.  I have been doing stretching and wrist curls with hot/cold soaks at night.  I am wondering if it is ok to climb.  Should I back off for a while? Take it easy until the pain is gone?  Thanks! Luke
