Upper elbow pain (not golfer/tennis elbow)

Hello,

maybe someone can help me here.

First let me show you where I feel the pain.

It is just under the biceps. To me it looks like the brachialis but I am not sure. The other elbow is perfectly fine.

There is a point in there that if I press with my finger I feel a really bad pain. Actually, if I slide my finger pressing against the bone and below the biceps, from the medial epicondyle up to the upper arm, there is a point where I feel a sharp pain. See photo.

How did it manifest the first time? It was september / october, in that period I was climbing twice a week. I climbed for the entire summer without any kind of problem. Then, pain came: I could easily climb for the hour half then pain started to become stronger. At the end of the session I had really bad times even steering the car wheel. So I decided to stay off. I passed two months without doing nothing with my arms. I recall that pain passed within just few days. After the two months stop, I tried again with bouldering: that day was fine, I did not have any kind of pain, but at the end of the session I felt the elbow was strange, not painful. After two days I had very sharp pain in the elbow. Obviously I stopped again. Then after a month, I tried again bouldering: first time was ok, but after two days of rest I did bouldering again and at the end of the session I felt that pain again. Actually, I had a visit and the doctor said it is not tennis/golfer elbow, he only said to rest. But I really would like to know what my pain is.

Thanks
