The term tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is a very common arm injury caused due to stress. It is described as the inflammation of the tendons that link the arm bone with the forearm, and whose stress point is around the elbow.
One would imagine this condition is mostly seen in tennis players, but it affects non-players too whose repeated and strong action of arm muscle contraction causes this condition. So if you are a carpenter, or are into gardening, landscaping, or play golf, baseball, badminton, and baseball, you’re prone to suffer from a tennis elbow.
Its cause is yet unknown, but this condition is generally believed to arise because of the abnormal wear and tear of the elbow joint or due to flexing of the wrist backwards.
Tennis Elbow Treatment: Knowing tennis elbow symptoms
The symptoms start slowly and build up to give the sufferer immense pain. Initially, the pain is just a dull ache or a sore feeling on the exterior of the elbow that stays on for barely 24 hours after any stressful physical activity. However, when this activity is repeated several times, the pain takes longer to subside to an extent that the patient can, in time, find it difficult to pick up a mug of coffee or even a newspaper. Pain shots through the hand and goes all the way up to the neck and shoulder too.
Other tennis elbow symptoms include tenderness in the elbow area and a weak grip to the extent of being unable to shake hands, turn a doorknob, lift light objects, bend the arm, etc. If left untreated, it can turn chronic, and soon, patients are in pain even when there is no movement in the arm.
Tennis elbow is also caused due to an affected nerve in the cervix, with the patient complaining of pain in the shoulder or due to the musculospiral nerve in the elbow. This kind of pain increases in the evening, making sleeping at night difficult. On waking up in the morning, the elbow is usually very stiff.
