Tennis elbow is a condition caused by inflammation of the tendons on the outer bony prominence ( lateral epicondyle) of the elbow. Certain repetitive movements of the wrist can cause this condition.
Any repetitive motion of the wrist, including tennis, hedge clipping, hammer or screwdriver, painting or any constant gripping and squeezing can cause tennis elbow.
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) causes pain and inflammation in the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow.
