Tennis Elbow
Overview
An elbow condition called tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is caused by repetitive wrist or arm movements to the tendons in the elbow.
Tennis elbow is not just a problem for athletes. Tennis elbow often occurs in people who work in jobs that require repetitive motions, such as plumbers, painters, carpenters, and butchers.
There is a bony bump on the outside of your elbow where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach. This causes tennis elbow pain. Forearms and wrists can also be affected by pain.
Tennis elbow can be relieved with rest and over-the-counter pain relievers. It may be necessary to have surgery if conservative treatment fails or if symptoms are disabling.
To discuss diagnosis and treatment options, please book an appointment with our specialist.
