Brief Answer:
Clinical examination and investigations to get an exact cause.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
As per the feedback you have given, this seems to be a lump near the Ulnar nerve the stimulation of which is causing you the symptoms of pain and tingling down to hand.
Hence this needs proper clinical evaluation, examination and necessary investigations under the cause of your Doctor or the Specialist he/she will recommend.
One month is a long time to suffer from such a problem hence the need as said above.
This will allow the exact diagnosis so that an appropriate management can be done.

Please gov for this.
Till then stop such activities that involve the elbow and instigate or enhance the symptoms.

I hope this answer helps you.
Please give feedback once the clinical evaluation and investigations are done.

With Regards.
