I used to play tennis with a very stiff racket and got tennis elbow. (I subscribe to the view that tennis elbow among tennis players is either from a stiff racket, or bad form.) I switched rackets and did pt, but for a while I wore something like the strap pictured above. I bought it at a drug store, and it had a plastic disc (rather than the bag of gloop pictured) that, when the strap was tightened, pressed down on the tendons of my forearm. This made the pain completely go away. So you might try something like that when you're riding.
