Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think you have tennis elbow tendonitis of the extensor tendons.
You need to keep a tennis elbow strap.Take nonsteroidal antiinflamatory medicine and ice packs locally.
If not better then you need cortisone injections in the elbow.
I wish you quick recovery.
