    @AttyTJ , I have this as well, mine is early stages and comes and goes. Mostly comes when I am playing and goes when I stop. I do two stretches that help me. With my elbow bent (forearm against bicep) palm down (keep hand flat) so my arm looks like a duck head I gently press on my hand rotating it externally gently stretching. Then do the opposite rotation. keep hand flat and rotate all the way back internally so with palm down my fingers point at my shoulder nearly touching it and gently stretch by gently pushing the internal rotation. Lastly elbow bent palm up fingers splayed (keep splaying as you stretch), I gently stretch (extension) both ring finger and pinky simultaneously feeling the stretch in my fingers, that outside edge of my palm and forearm. Think of silly putty as you do this: stretch too fast and it snaps but stretch gently and slowly and you will be amazed how flexible you can be.
