Ice and exercise: Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a common condition causing lateral elbow and forearm pain. Best treatment is regular icing, stretching and exercise. A good exercise regimen can be found online at www.Aaos.Org. A formal orthopaedic evaluation may be beneficial. Physical therapy can often help as well.
