Recently I have been experiencing pain just to the outside of my elbow. My Chiropractor called it tennis elbow. I don't play tennis so it can't be that
He suggested ice and a strap type of deal around my arm just below the joint to help support the muscle that connects there. He also suggested giving it a rest for a few weeks, like that's going to happen this late in the season.

Has anyone had this sort of thing and what helped it heal?

Yep- Nothing to do but give it time to heal. The compression straps on the upper or lower arm are a common thing among many other professional athletes. They help a little bit but wont fix your pain once you have it- they are much more preventative. Take some Aleive before you play and just try to get through it. If it continues to get worse you need to consider backing off for a while. It could cause major damange to the ligament if it continues to rub in the wrong way. Better safe than sorry.
