Hi thanks for the query,
From the complaints you have described it could be repetitive stress injury to elbow and wrist and it is a form of tendinitis. I would advice you to consult local orthopedic surgeon who might start on antiinflammatory medications, topical creams and physiotherapy. All these together and with some activity modification may soothen the pain.
