Thirding this (ulnar pinching). The physical therapist I saw recommended that I avoid wearing braces, though, since she wanted me to build muscle to support my annoyed tendons and joints; for me it was secondary, and the primary cause was in my upper spine.
It is a good idea to see a doctor--this sort of thing doesn't ever go away completely, thanks to possibilities for reinjury. Also, having a high pain threshold can make it pitifully easy to incur (further) damage unawares. (I've accidentally combined a good threshold with the ability to ignore pain, since it's chronic, and as I get older I wish I could undo it.)
