Tennis Elbow

Lateral epicondylitis or lateral epicondylosis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a painful inflammation of several structures in the elbow resulting from overuse of lower arm muscles—those often used while playing tennis and other sports. When wrist muscles in the forearm are repeatedly and forcefully contracted, the stress causes microscopic tears, leading to inflammation. Though associated with sports players, mechanics and carpenters are also at risk for the condition. How is it treated? Discuss
