What's usually behind it

Golfer's elbow is an overload of the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the inside of the elbow. It builds up with repeated gripping and bending of the wrist.

Gym training, racket sports, trades and even lots of typing can cause it. Tendons respond best to the right kind of treatment, not just rest.
