Based on the details given, it is likely to be tennis elbow and de Quervains tenosynovitis at the thumb. Consult a physiotherapist in your locality for the best conservative management of these conditions. Home Care includes icing for 10-15 minutes and overnight dressing with well stirred glycerine magnesium sulphate paste. Use of wrist splint with thumb spica during strenuous activities is helpful for both the conditions.
