Tennis elbow, medically known as\u00a0<\/span>lateral epicondylitis<\/span><\/strong>, is a common condition characterized by pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow joint. It is an overuse injury that typically develops as a result of repetitive hand and arm movements.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Although tennis elbow is common among tennis players, it can also affect non-athletes such as\u00a0<\/span>computer users, carpenters, plumbers, and cleaning workers<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In tennis elbow, the pain occurs where the tendons of the forearm and hand muscles attach to the bony bump on the outside of the elbow, called the\u00a0<\/span>lateral epicondyle<\/span><\/strong>. The pain may radiate into the forearm and wrist.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rest<\/span><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>pain relievers<\/span><\/strong>, and\u00a0<\/span>physical therapy<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0are usually effective in relieving symptoms. For those who do not respond to these treatments or have symptoms that interfere with daily life,\u00a0<\/span>injection therapies<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>surgery<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0may be considered.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
