What is Tennis Elbow ?
Tennis Elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis is a common injury causing pain on the outside of the elbow. Tennis Elbow is often associated with playing tennis, where it gets its name. However, the condition can happen in any activity that causes you to overuse your forearm muscles attaching to the bony lump on your outer elbow. Similar condition is known as Golfer’s Elbow in which pain is there on inner side of the Elbow. Epicondylitis often becomes a chronic problem if not cared for properly.
Causes of Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow is common in those between the ages of 35 and 55, although other age groups can also be affected. Tennis elbow can be caused by playing tennis; however, this isn’t the only cause. Other activities where you use your wrist and forearm repetitively can cause tennis elbow, such as :
- Painting
- Gardening
- Other racquet sports
- Using manual or power tools
- Using a keyboard or mouse
Repeating incorrect movements of the arm Incorrect technique.
What are the Symptoms?
- Pain caused from Tennis Elbow usually comes on slowly due to a small tear that initially you do not feel but becomes worse over time. It is not common for the pain to come on suddenly.
- Pain will slowly increase around the outside of the elbow and will worsen when shaking hands or
squeezing objects. - Pain is made worse by moving the wrist with force such as lifting, opening jars, and even just by handling a toothbrush or fork and knife.
