What gauge strings do you use?
Could it be down to your technique?
I was getting hand cramp across the centre of my hand as I used to wrap my thumb over the neck.
I've been forcing myself to position my thumb on the back of the neck & its helped a lot, especially when playing my Mustang which has a super slim neck.
I am not a thumb over neck player either. Although, I do sometimes do that on longer gigs when barre chords start to hurt now I think about it...
You don’t want some sort of RSI or tendonitis cramping your rock n roll style.

Is the source of pain the elbow? You might have tennis elbow. I had tennis elbow some years back and certain activities brought the pain on, unrelated to the activity that originally kicked it off.

See your quack doctor most definitely. ASAP.

I'm guessing elbow? But you could mean your shoulder, wrist, or even your neck for all that.
If the pain is bothering you then yep, have it checked out by a doctor or even a physio who would check and be able to tell if you need to be packed off to a doctor. Many doctors will likely send you to a physio anyway if your problem is musculoskeletal.
