Default Elbow Pain

I have an problem with my elbow and was wondering if anyone has any information or has had a similar problem. It is pain on the inside of the right elbow and seems to be Golfer's Elbow. I can rub the knob of bone on the inside of my elbow and irritate what feels like a tendon. It also hurts if I flex my wrist downward and then bend and unbend my elbow.

I received a steroid shot from a doctor about 4 months ago and the pain was gone. Then just the other day, it suddenly reappeared with no warning whatsoever. I have been lifting regularly since the pain went away but haven't noticed anything specific that would have caused the pain to come back other then maybe the shot was just masking it. The pain came back when I hung from a bar to start a set of wide grip pullups. It was my first set of the day so I find it hard to believe that the pullups all of a sudden caused a strain.

I can do most excercises with only slight discomfort but I'm afraid to keep working out because it's probably not good for whatever I did to myself. I'll be going back to the doctor as soon as possible but I wondered if anyone here has any advice. I've been taking IB Profin and using ice but this gives only temperary releif. Thanks.
