I had lateral epicondylitis, for quite a few months because I was stupid enough to workout through the pain. Stretching and icing is the standard rehab methodology for epicondylitis. Do this person give you some stretches?
Epicondylitis is going to largely depend on how tightly you grip things. Also, depending on how advanced yours is, it could be months of rehab, because it's a tendon problem. If you acted quickly enough, it should not take as long.
Consider a sponge grip for pens and pencils. If your job requires computer use, you may be able to get your employer to buy you a ZT mouse (for company use, of course).
Also, see if your health insurance may cover it.
