Just back from the Doc's. Tennis elbow wasn't a bad guess after all. In fact, it's actually golfer's elbow. See below:

Tendonitis (irritation and inflammation of the tendon tissue) is the most common condition affecting the elbow. It is frequently referred to as "tennis elbow" when there is an injury to the outer tendon and "golfer's elbow" when there is an injury to the inner tendon. However, elbow tendonitis may be caused by a variety of sports or work-related activities that involve heavy use of the wrist and forearm muscles.
Other names for tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are lateral epicondylitis and medial epicondylitis, respectively.
Now, it must be obvious to all that I didn't get this playing golf. Maybe it was caused by a repeated scooping motion...Labels: Golfer's Elbow
