Most probably you are having tennis elbow.

Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Most probably you are having tendinitis of one of group of tendons. Mostly it is tendinitis of extensor group called tennis elbow. Here pain is felt on bony points on outer side of Elbow. Its primary treatment is rest to joint and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Streching excercises will be useful.It is advisable to avoid heavy weight lifting and other heavy work with effected arm. I found very good clinical results of injection triamcilone locally. You can consult for your local orthopedician for same.
Another similar condition is golfers elbow, here pain is felt on inner bony point of elbow. Treatment of it is similar.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
