Tennis elbow?

Since Christmas I have had a pain in my elbow, sometimes worse than others. At times I can't lift anything heavy or grip anything heavy. I didn't know what had caused it.

After a service today I think I worked it out. A gentleman gripped my hand tight and a pain shot from my hand, up my arm to the exact point on my elbow. A few more handshakes later and someone else did the same. A couple of handshakes later, again. Then after that just about every reasonable handshake caused it again. My elbow was really aching afterwards.

Can you get tennis elbow from shaking too many hands? That's why it started at Christmas! It's not the shaking, it's the strength of the grip. Occupational hazard?
