What Causes Elbow Soreness And Swelling With Pain?

I have soreness, some swelling, slight discoloration at the inside of my right elbow where it meets the bicep area. I have had this condition since last Saturday. It started early during a family golf scramble, and since I did not want to quit I kept on playing, trying to ice it down with the hopes it would not get too bad. On the following Sunday I could hardly use the arm. It seemed to get a little better for the next couple of day, but now it is bothering me even at night when I am trying to sleep. At times I even feel some pain close to the wrist when or after I use the arm to lift something. Would this be a strain or pulled ligament, tendon, .........??

you likely suffer from medial epicondylitis: flexor tendons of your forearm and hand got inflamed at their elbow insertion after the golf session. rest (most of all!), ice and local nsaids should help you. pain however may last several weekd
