‘"Tennis elbow" is a common term for a condition caused by overuse of arm, forearm, and hand muscles that results in elbow pain. You don't have to play tennis to get this, but the term came into use because it can be a significant problem for some tennis players.’

“Symptoms of tennis elbow include:

• Pain slowly increases around the outside of the elbow. Less often, pain may develop suddenly.

• Pain is worse when shaking hands or squeezing objects.

• Pain is made worse by stabilizing or moving the wrist with force. Examples include lifting, using tools, opening jars, or even handling simple utensils such as a toothbrush or knife and fork.”
