Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is the most common injury in patients seeking medical attention with the complaint of elbow pain. Exactly what causes tennis elbow is unknown, but it is thought to be due to small tears of the tendons that attach the muscles of the forearm to the arm bone at the elbow joint.
The muscle group involved, the wrist extensors, function to **** the wrist back. Specifically, the extensor carpi radialis brevis, has been implicated in causing the symptoms of tennis elbow.
What are the symptoms of tennis elbow?
Patients with the tennis elbow syndrome experience pain on the outside of the elbow that is worsened by grasping objects and cocking back the wrist. The most common symptoms of tennis elbow are:
o Pain over the outside of the elbow
o Pain when lifting objects
o Pain radiating down the forearm
The pain associated with tennis elbow usually has a gradual onset, but may also come on suddenly.

I had a cortisone shot 5 weeks ago, my elbow felt fine for 3 weeks but then my elbow pain came roaring back worse than before the injection. I have been using this tennis elbow secrets program now for 5 days and my elbow feels much better. I can really feel my arm getting stronger as each day passes.

is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender, usually as a result of a specific strain or overuse. Whilst it is called "tennis elbow", it should be noted that it is by no means restricted to tennis players. Anyone who does a lot of work involving lifting at the elbow or repetitive movements at the wrist is susceptible to the complaint. The condition was first described in 1883

Tendonitis of the elbow. The term "tennis elbow" is because alot of people who play tennis or other racket sports often develop this. I had it in college because I used to play squash and racketball

Tendinitis, inflammation of the tendon in the elbow. Very pain full and can get better with anti-inflammatory drugs and rest or may need cortisone injections. Been there and done it
