Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain and tenderness in the outer part of the elbow. Despite its name, this condition can occur in anyone who performs repetitive motions with the wrist and arm, not just tennis players.
The exact cause of tennis elbow is related to overuse and repetitive stress on the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle, a bony bump on the outer part of the elbow. This can lead to small tears in the tendon, causing pain and inflammation.
Symptoms of tennis elbow may include:
