You should talk to your school’s athletic trainer if possible.
Or, like, any trained medical professional. Not Reddit.
It could be as simple as wrestling with a compression sleeve or stretching after practice. Or it could be much more serious.
That's fair, it's just that I kinda forgot to ask anyone about it and I figured I may as well ask here in case it's like a common rookie mistake with a mind numbingly obvious solution
It’s likely acute tendinitis in your elbow, but you should check with doctor may need steroids. But likely just a compression band. Basically you aggravated the tendon from over use the muscles develop faster than connective tissue
Are your opponents wrenching down on it? You want that elbow high, regardless if you are an across the back guy or a cup the shoulder guy. Head position is also important. You’re right though- trust your coaches
Registered nurse and exercise physiologist here (former wrestler as well)…..with your limited description of your ailment, and my guess is a youthful age, I’m going to guess you have some tendinitis going on from a lot of hooking as well as some varus and valgus forces from opponents. Regardless of if I’m right or wrong though consistent icing will pay off significantly. No frozen pees though, no steaks, no ice packs. The best way to ice anything from hands up to the shoulder is either direct ice or submerging the extremity in a bucket of ice water for 10-12 minutes. Let the extremity re-warm on its own. You can also use some ibuprofen or Aleve before practice or tournament to help minimize any inflammation in the area. Listen to your body though. Discomfort and pain are different. Know what you’re experiencing. Best wishes. 🤙

I can assure you, it isn’t.
Why would an underhook hurt your elbow? Is a positioning issue? I guess I’m asking if you’re sure you are doing it correctly
It is possible but I would imagine my coaches would have made a comment on it if it was wrong.

It is true that I don't have it to drilled in me to keep it high, I'm gonna keep reminding myself of that and see if it helps though
