Hi

It sounds like you may have lateral eptcondyltitis (tennis elbow).

Symptoms - pain at outside of elbow on the bony prominece right at the joint
- worse with actions that require a stiff wrist

Signs
Press at the sore are - point tenderness is a sign
Elbow straight with hand out in front of you palm down, Have someone press down on your middle finger nail while you aretrying to keep you fingrer straight. Try with the index finger also
This should cause pain at the elbow

Treatment options
- Physiotherapy
- Alter the grip size on your clubs
- Non steroidal anti-inflammatories
- Counterforce brace (Band that goes around the forearm muscles)
- Steroid injection
- Surgery

Differentail diagnosis
- Arthrosis elbow
- Trapped radial nerve

Natural history
90% get better on own within one year

Hope this helps

If the pain does not settle you need an xray to exclude other pathology. See your doctor

Cheers

Julian
