Brief Answer:
Tendinitis most likely Tennis elbow

Detailed Answer:
Hello
It's good to see you.
Yes,it looks to be tendinitis most likely Tennis elbow.My suggestions for you are-
1.Hot water fomentation along with physiotherapy has a role.
2.Avoid heavy weight lifting till you become pain free.
3.Wear Tennis elbow belt while doing physical work.
4.Local steroid injection may be given if it does not respond to above measure.Ibuprofen along with tablet Tendomac for few days helps in early recovery.
It usually takes few weeks times to resolve.
Hope this helps.
