What is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow, also referred to as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition associated with pain caused by irritation or small tears of the tendons linking the forearm muscles to the outside part of the elbow joint due to repetitive strain.

The condition is not specific to tennis players; tennis elbow is common in people who do not play the game. People who have occupations that involve repeated twisting, lifting, or grasping movements are at a high risk of developing the problem.

The features of tennis elbow include:

• Pain and tenderness on the outer side of the elbow
• Deterioration or damage to the extensor tendon (typically extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon)
• Small tears in the tendon from repetitive strain
• An overuse rather than a traumatic injury
• Athletes and non-athletes are susceptible to the disease
• Often develops slowly

Symptoms Of Tennis Elbow

The symptoms of tennis elbow usually begin gradually and worsen with continued use of the affected arm. As the condition progresses, pain and weakness can interfere with everyday activities.

Common symptoms include:

• Pain or burning on the outside of the elbow
• Pain that radiates into the forearm and wrist
• Weak grip strength
• Difficulty shaking hands or gripping objects
• Pain while turning a doorknob
• Difficulty holding a coffee cup, pen, or other everyday objects
• Pain that worsens when twisting, bending, or lifting with the arm
• Elbow stiffness
• Mild swelling around the elbow
• Symptoms often affect the dominant arm and may worsen at night

Causes Of Tennis Elbow

Risks Linked To Tennis Elbow

Although anyone can develop tennis elbow, certain age groups, occupations, sports, and lifestyle factors significantly increase the risk.

Risk factors include:

• Age between 30 and 60 years
• Jobs involving repetitive wrist and arm movements (e.g., plumbers, painters, carpenters, butchers, cooks)
• Regular participation in racquet sports
• Poor sports technique or improper equipment
• Playing racquet sports for prolonged periods (more than two hours a day)
• Frequently lifting heavy objects (more than 45 lbs/22 kg)
• Hobbies involving repetitive tool use
• Smoking
• Obesity
• Certain medications that may affect tendon health

How is Tennis Elbow Diagnosed?

Tennis elbow is primarily diagnosed through a clinical examination, with imaging tests recommended only when needed to confirm the diagnosis or rule out other conditions. Diagnosis may involve:

• Review of symptoms and medical history
• Physical examination of the elbow and forearm
• Grip strength and movement assessment
• X-ray to exclude bone-related conditions
• MRI or ultrasound if tendon damage is suspected

When Should You Seek Professional Help?

While mild tennis elbow may improve with rest and activity modification, persistent or worsening symptoms require prompt medical evaluation. Early treatment can help prevent chronic pain and restore normal arm function.

Seek professional help if you experience:

• Elbow pain that lasts for more than 2–3 weeks
• Difficulty gripping, lifting, or holding everyday objects
• Pain that worsens despite rest or home remedies
• Reduced arm strength or limited elbow movement
• Swelling, severe pain, or symptoms affecting daily activities
• Recurrent elbow pain that keeps returning after activity
