Suggest Ways To Rule Out Tennis Elbow

I play a lot of tennis, so baturally I will develop some pain in my arm. My elbow has started hurting for a week or 2 now and at some points I find my arm shaking while just trying to support it. I think I have tennis elbow but it only hurts when I play(but excruciatingly). Around an hour after I stop playing, the pain stops. Is it something I should see a doctor for, or will the tendon heal with time?
