Elbow pain: Inflammation in the elbow,such as tendonitis or epicondylitis, can cause discomfort to radiate toward the wrist or upper arm. An orthopedic surgeon is best qualified to evaluate and treat you. In the meantime try NSAIDS like ibuprofen,if you can take them. Also hot or cold packs and rubbing liniment May help.
