Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow. Despite its name, tennis elbow can affect anyone, not just tennis players. It often occurs due to repetitive motions of the forearm, leading to overuse and strain on the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle (bony bump on the outer side of the elbow).

Symptoms of Tennis Elbow The most common symptom of tennis elbow is pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow. This pain may radiate down the forearm and can worsen with certain movements, such as gripping, lifting, or twisting motions. Other symptoms include difficulty in extending the wrist fully, weakness in the affected arm, and discomfort when performing everyday activities.
