Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) perhaps? An over use injury from repetitive rapid motion. Pretty common. Sauerkraut had crippling cases as a teenager I hear. A steriod shot or anti-inflammatory rx, physical therapy, and an elbow strap often help.
Turn your arm so your thumb points out, press along the outside edge of your elbow near the bone, if it hurts like hell that is likely what you got.
The nerves to the rest of the lower arm don't run past there, damage to them usually shows up as hand symptoms.
Muscle relaxants and pain meds are unlikely to do anything other than delay getting the right treatment.

Thanks George........hurts like hell when I do that. My arms though are numb and hurt 24/7 from above my biceps's down. Sometimes when I grab a hold of something like my phone or a plug my hands begin to shake like i have Parkinson's and if I rotate my wrist I get like an electrical shock that shoots up my arm. Ive had the numbness and pain for about 4 years now which is getting a lot worst now a days. Almost feels like im walking around with rubber bands around my arms and get the pins and needles, unfortunately I can't use them needles to fish with....And yes your right the muscle relaxers and pain killers help, but they just make me feel like superman. Then after a night of fishing the mornings are full of pain and i feel more like 90 years old
