I have pain in my elbow but not down my arm?

Question

I have pain in my right elbow only when I lean on it. I don't have any pain that goes down my forearm or wrist and I don't have any tingling or numbness in my hand. I also don't have any trouble lifting anything but when I lean on it whether it be a pillow or a hard service I get shooting pain that brings tears to my eyes. And today I even have some throbbing pain when I am not leaning on it but only in my elbow. Any suggestions as to what this might be? I thought it may be tennis elbow but every description of tennis elbow that I come across talks about pain going down the forearm that I don't have. Any suggestions will be helpful. :)
