hi you have stiffness in your elbow and sometimes it travels to wrist. Your job involves heavy weight lifting. With stiffness in your elbow , esp with pain and nature of your job , I am inclined to think in terms of Tennis Elbow - take pain killers for few days and avoid heavy weight lifting for the time being. Sometimes the problem is self limiting and may not need anything further.
