Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Tennis Elbow or Lateral
Epicondylitis is a condition when the outer part of the elbow
becomes painful and tender, usually as a result of a specific
strain, overuse, or a direct bang. Sometimes no specific cause
is found. Tennis Elbow is similar to Golfer's Elbow which
affects the other side of the elbow. Symptoms include: outer
part of the elbow is painful and tender to touch. Movements of
the elbow, and also movements which involve lifting, with the
hand on top, hurt. Rest helps, with avoidance of the activities
which over use the elbow. |
