Tennis And Golfer Elbow

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is an enthesopathy of the origin of the extensor carpi radialis brevis on the lateral epicondyle. It causes pain and tenderness over the bony part of the lateral epicondyle.

Symptoms range from mild tenderness to severe, persistent pain.Tennis elbow is caused by overuse and repetitive strain on the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the elbow. This strain, often from activities involving gripping, twisting, or extending the wrist, can lead to tiny tears in the tendon, causing pain on the outer part of the elbow. Common culprits include playing racquet sports like tennis, as well as certain jobs like painting, plumbing, carpentry, and even using a computer mouse repeatedly

Golfer’s elbow is a condition that causes pain where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of your elbow. The pain might spread into your forearm and wrist.

Golfer’s elbow is similar to tennis elbow, which occurs on the outside of the elbow. It’s not limited to golfers. Tennis players and others who repeatedly use their wrists or clench their fingers also can develop golfer’s elbow.

tennis elbow usually goes away with treatment, but it can take several months to a year or more for the tendon to fully heal. Most people make a full recovery, and in many cases, symptoms resolve on their own with rest and simple exercises.

If symptoms don’t improve, a doctor may recommend other options like physical therapy, steroid injections, or, in rare cases, surgery
