Tennis Elbow
Tennis Elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that causes pain on the outer part of the elbow. It occurs when the tendons that attach to the elbow become inflamed or damaged, often due to repetitive motions, such as gripping or swinging. While it is commonly associated with tennis players, it can affect anyone who performs repetitive arm activities.
Symptoms of Tennis Elbow include pain and tenderness on the outer elbow, which may radiate down the forearm. Activities like lifting objects, shaking hands, or even turning a doorknob can become painful. Treatment often involves rest, ice, physical therapy, and in some cases, medication to reduce inflammation.
