Question: There is a soreness to the left of my right elbow between that area and the outer bone. It causes pain when I tighten my fist and often when I reach and pick up some objects. What type physician do I need to see without having to go directly to my PCP first?

From description it seems to be tennis elbow(lateral epicondylitis). You need to consult an orthopaedician for proper evaluation and treatment.
