So much of pain is seeing what happens when you poke someone.....

If moving the elbow gave the pain... no... even then I think this is going to have to be a nerve pain. Most common pathway is neck to across shoulder down outside of the arm to elbow to outer hand... (c5 radiculopathy. from a pinched nerve in the neck.
