It is most likely tendinitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query
I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Most likely he is having tendinitis (medial epicondylitis) of elbow also called golfer's elbow. It is like tennis elbow. In tennis elbow pain is on outerside ( thumb side) of elbow and in golfers elbow pain in on inside ( pinky side) . Both the conditions are similar and are tendinitis (inflammation of tendon) and are generally due to overwork.
Treatment of this condition is rest to joint ( minimum work by affected elbow and arm) and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. If pain is not relieved by ibuprofen then strong analgesic such as tramadol can be of use. In resistant cases I found application injection triamcilone locally with very good results in patients coming to my clinic. You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
