Exactly the same spot as my chronic tennis elbow/tendonitis that was probably a symptom of nerve compression in my back and shoulders. See the elbow thread.
This thread.My advice would be to stop doing whatever's aggravating it right now, see if it settles and then start rehab. Mine started as a niggle and ended up keeping me out of climbing for six months and cost lot of money in physio.
It comes and goes.. comes with Limestone and goes with Grit

Alright T2, all good advice above.I had a elbow thing a good while back and John O from The Clinic recommended icing for 2 x 30 mins a day which I found helped. Washing up bowl of cold water, chuck some ice cubes in, then your elbow and leave for half an hour.NB: you don't realise how long half an hour is until you've spent it with your elbow submerged in icy water...I would recommend getting having a good DVD / book / cup of tea / beer in place before you start!
I do this as well and find that it also helps with general recovery from a tough session. I place my whole forearm(elbow/wrist/fingers) in the ice water. Basically I'm looking for the area to go pink and goosebumpy after taking it out of the water. There's a name for this effect which escapes my right now but it's supposed to increase blood flow to the area immersed by 500% apparently!

This is the sort of shit that happens when you get delusions of grandeur and call the grit prematurely. Dunno why walking home would aggrevate your elbow mind.
Its not really hurt at all - importantly not after climbing.. but today, its started niggling like a bugger as I started walking home from work!!?????? wtf?
I agree. It's very similar to the problem I had. Tom are you getting pins and needles anywhere?
