Description:

Tennis elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis is a strain resulting from irrational stress placed  at the origin of the common extensor tendon which results in tendinosis. Clinically the diagnosis is made by tenderness observed  over the lateral epicondyle that worsens with resisted wrist extension.This condition most commonly affects people between the ages of 30 and 50 but it can affect people of any age and both men and women.

Cause:

Repeated Abuse: Tennis elbow can be caused by engaging in repetitive activities that involve the forearm muscles such as gripping twisting or lifting for an extended period of time. Overuse wear and tear: Excessive usage of the forearm muscles without sufficient recovery time and rest can result in tendons wear and tear resulting in tennis elbow. Activities like Painting, plumbing and playing musical instruments are examples that involve repetitive motions.

Symptom:

Tennis elbow is characterised by pain radiating from the outside of the upper part of the forearm (below the region where the elbow bends). In some cases pain extends all the way down the arm to the hand and wrist. Other signs and symptoms include: • Burning sensation along the length of the arm or on the outer edge of the elbow • Weakness in the elbows and forearms • Pain when performing forearm-related activities (e.g. holding a cup of water opening a door extending the forearm)
