Reaching larger chords?

hello ^_^! I just started learning this piece and I really like it but if I try and play these particular sections more than a few times my lower arm and elbow starts having like a weird soreness, not painful but just sore. I’ve tried cutting some notes out to make it a bit easier to play but it just doesn’t sound the same 😢 I’ve tried playing slowly focusing on the “up down” method (where you lift and fully relax your hand) as well as trying to “open from the wrist” to not strain my fingers but after repeating a few times I still get that feeling. Any help is really appreciated 🤗
