Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely tendonitis in elbow region. From your history it is most likely Golfers elbow which is tendonitis on medial region of elbow. For this Rest , Ice , over the counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen (motrin) will be helpful. If there is no improvement then consult an orthopedician. You may need to take a X ray to rule out problems like arthritis in such case. Wearing brace and corticosteroid injection like triamcinolone will be recommended by orthopedicians for this.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
