"It's kind of like a "tennis elbow" pain"

A bit of information on tennis elbow;

A stressed elbow can have muscular, tendon or bursa damage resulting in pain where the tendon joins the bone on the outside of the elbow. Lateral humeral epicondylitis/tennis elbow can affect anyone who uses the forearm muscles, the standed treatment for this (keep in mind that your condition hasnt been diagnosed as tennis elbow) is;

(1) R.I.C.E- Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
(2) Wear a brace designed for tennis elbow, should be available from good sports shops
(3) Stretch the wrist and forearm muscles regularly

these injuries can be avoided if the specific muscles are conditioned properly, hope this helps.
