An explanation of symptons
Also known as lateral epicondylitis, tennis elbow occurs when a specific tendon of the humerus bone becomes irritated, inflamed, or damaged. This causes pain on the outer part of the elbow. While tennis players suffer the condition most frequently, anyone who does a lot of lifting at the elbow is susceptible. Symptoms include tenderness on the outer part of the elbow, lateral elbow pain extending into the forearm, pain during movement of the elbow, especially lifting movements. Typically the pain caused by tennis elbow subsides overnight, but returns when stress is applied to the elbow.
