HI
Well come to HCM
This could be "Tennis Elbow" chances of this is pretty enough and this need to be ruled out and for this you need to get done the x-ray of elbow joint with orthopaedic opinion, till then keep the elbow joint in sling, and "Tab Diclofenac" 50 mg once in day, some time physiotherapy may be helpful, else this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care.
