It's still hurting after 3 weeks? Have you stopped working triceps?
Mine went away after a week or so of rest. Ice for the first couple of days, use some ibuprofen/naproxen, then heat every day after.
I would suggest stop using it entirely (no bench, no upper body/push type stuff, no triceps work). Since it's been hurting a while, get some heat on it and take something. I like naproxen (Aleve) because you can take one in the morning and one at night and not have to mess with a bunch of pills every four hours.

I've been out of the gym since then. I've been flexing it daily to see if the pain is going away and today I can definitely feel it going away. It must be the old age slowing down my recovery time.
