Tennis elbow
Look on Web MD -- it explains tennis elbow; it's the tendon from your hand to your elbow which is ripped. Rest, rest, and more rest, will give it time to heal. I just was at my doctor for the same thing -- get a band (at the local drug store) which will help the arm. She told me that a cortisone shot was a last resort before surgery, as it is extremely painful at the elbow, and not always helpful. Ice/heat and pain medicine, and rest, rest, & more rest ! ! Good luck in your recovery, as it is going to take time.
