Again without seeing it, its hard to dx, but typically a true tennis elbow is just above the joint, if it's mostly below that's more in the muscle and I'd be worried about the start of Radial Tunnel Syndrom. IF you look at the anatomy the tendon for the wrist extendors (the muscles that you are talking about) are litteraly only about 1/4 inch at the most!!!! When someone comes in with the tennis/golfer's dx I can usually push on a spot the size of a jelly bean and the person lights up!! and that spot is just above the joint.
Go get it looked at.
