It seems to be some kind of low-grade tear in either one of the tendons or supporting ligaments.
Rest hasn't helped a lot apparently.
You can incorporate two things:
A). Low intensity high reps schedule. Of the same movement. Eccentrics.
- Low Intensity = 1kg or 2 kg weights. You can even use 500ml coke can or bottle. Fill it full to half or somewhere in between.
- High Reps = 10-20 sets of 10 reps (total 100-150-200 reps). You can do it over a day, whenever you have time.
- Eccentrics = in this case, you have to do the same Hammer Curls. Use your other hand to support WHILE flexing the elbow (normal curl motion) and then let it extend (reverse of curl motion) on own with the other hand removed. This means that the elbow flexors are working to slow down their primary motion (= eccentric; concentric motion for elbow flexors is elbow flexion). Keep the wrist in neutral motion as in Hammer Curl.
B). Look at your food. You need good (balanced) protein to let the soft tissue heal properly.
Do this for 3-4 weeks. You can progressively increase your reps from initial 100 a day to 200 a day over that time.
C). Of course, don't do hammer curl like motion with heavy weights (which may tear the new healed tissue) in rest of the time.

Maybe post more so that eventually your thin skin gets bruised into thick calluses.
Same boat here - fellow medico, don't post much here since i also feel not much to contribute.
have you tried using OCRmyPDF or Abbyy FineReader to do the first conversion? And then do the editing in docx/html.
