What you are describing sounds very similar to "tennis elbow" — a condition where the tendons on the outside of the elbow become inflamed due to excessive or improper strain. It does not always require surgery, and many people effectively manage this condition through modified training, stretching and strengthening exercises, proper rest, and joint support. There are a range of non-surgical strategies for quick relief of elbow pain, including adapted training and techniques to help reduce stress and inflammation. For example, the article at this link https://ways2well.com/blog/effective-non-surgical-elbow-pain-treatment-for-quick-relief explains well how to approach the treatment of such pain and what to look for. This can be very helpful, especially if you want not only to relieve the symptoms but also to return to play without the risk of re-injury.
