Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the tennis elbow,if cortisone injections are given also it is not continuous,either monthly or fort nightly. still you may have to avoid weight bearing with that hand.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically along with pain killers.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods. When there is pain.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
