Tennis Elbow is actually tendinitis of the wrist extensor muscles.

Micro tears in part of the tendon surrounding the elbow and muscle coverings are the first stages in Tennis Elbow development. After the initial tears heal, repeated tears commonly occur in the same areas of tissue. This eventually leads to hemorrhaging or the formation of rough tissue and calcium deposits. Collagen then leaks from the injured areas, causing inflammation and pain. Untreated tears and injuries cause so much pressure that they cut off the blood flow and pinch nerves responsible for controlling muscles in the arms and hands.

u can get it massaged.. or see a chropractor to loosen up the elbow and get kinks taken out….
and also take a supplment called trioflex.. that helps alot..

that doesn’t sound like tennis elbow. tennis elbow is only in the muscle in your forearm, it’s actually not in your elbow at all. when you have tennis elbow, lots of the times even moving your arm will hurt, and you mentioned you weren’t in any pain.
i would say it’s possible you could have a minor case of tennis elbow, but it’s nothing to worry about, except with tennis elbow you wouldn’t be hearing a "click". if it weren’t for that, then i would say don’t bother going to the doctor and just pick up a tennis elbow brace at a drugstore and rest it for a week, but you should probably get it checked because of the clicking.

painful inflammation of the tendon at the outer border of the elbow resulting from overuse of lower arm muscles (as in twisting of the hand)

Arthritis?
Carpal Tunnel?

just go to the doctor.
