Brief Answer:
You have Tennis elbow, Local steroid will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopedic Surgeon.
Your Description and reports point to a diagnosis of lateral epicondylitis (commonly called as tennis elbow). Normally I prescribe.pain killers, hot fomentation , local application of analgesic gel and avoidance of repeated elbow load. If it does not solve your problem then local steroids are helpful.
If pain does not go away or recurs after steroids , then the next course would be surgery.
Thanx for the question. Please feel free to ask any other question.
