Tricep pushdowns - Elbow pain prevention

Question for the “gentle used” older guys on the forum...

I get some minor stinging pain in my elbows when doing triceps pulldowns. It’s definitely joint/tendon related and far away from my actual tricep.

It’s not enough to really hurt or prevent me from doing them but I’m trying to body. I’m 37 and should have a long time to go if I do things right. Is there anything I should be doin proactively?

I’ve never used sleeves or anything and would honestly feel a little silly using them on something like that but I’m willing to put my pride aside if it’ll keep things in good shape down the road. Do I just ignore it or do something about it?

I do different things to work my triceps but that movement hits them perfectly and I’d hate to avoid it. Overhead dumbbell extensions can cause it as well.
