Answer
George,

I wouldn't recommend listening to "people" who "say it's nothing".  That is a good way to ruin your arm forever.  You obviously have either some throwing mechanical flaws and/or some type of injury.  Mechanical flaws will lead to stress on the elbow and pain. Injury will also lead to pain.

I would put you on the 15-day DL and use ice and rest.  The key is to be able to throw each time out pain free.  Plus, you need to see the doctor.  Even if that means you don't throw until you see him.
