Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is an uncomfortable condition that develops when the tendons in your elbow are overworked, typically as a result of repetitive wrist and arm motions.
Tennis elbow, despite its name, is not just a condition that affects athletes; it can also affect people whose jobs require certain motions, such as butchers, plumbers, painters, and carpenters.
Tennis elbow primarily hurts where your forearm muscles’ tendons connect to a bony bump on the outside of your elbow, but it can also cause pain in your forearm and wrist.
The repeated contraction of the forearm muscles that you use to straighten and raise your hand and wrist can lead to tennis elbow, an overuse and muscle strain injury. The repeated motions and stress to the tissue may cause a series of small tears in the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bony prominence at the outside of your elbow.
Tennis elbow can be brought on by a variety of common arm motions, including those mentioned below, as the name of the condition suggests, playing tennis, particularly the backhand stroke when used repeatedly and improperly.
· Using plumbing tools
· Painting
· Driving screws
Preparing food, especially meat, by chopping it up.
· Repetitive computer mouse use
Symptoms– Tennis elbow pain may travel down the outside of your elbow and into your forearm and wrist, making it challenging to:
Clap your hands or hold something.
· Turn a doorknob
· Hold a coffee cup
Risk factors-Tennis elbow risk factors include the following:
Age.All ages are susceptible to tennis elbow, but adults between the ages of 30 and 50 are the ones who experience it most frequently.
Occupation.Plumbers, painters, carpenters, butchers, and cooks are just a few examples of people who are more likely to develop tennis elbow due to their jobs’ repetitive wrist and arm motions.
Certain sports.Tennis elbow is more likely to develop if you play racket sports, particularly if your stroke technique is subpar.
