Epicondylitis: You might be describing epicondylitis or some other muscle strain/injury. If it's painful close to elbow, it might be tennis elbow if on outside (lateral) & golfer's elbow if on inside (medial) of elbow. Check out http://patient.info/doctor/tennis-elbow-and-golfers-elbow for info. RICE is usually good idea for injuries eg Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation. OTC pain relievers should be ok. See doc
