Tennis Elbow Pain.

Tennis Elbow.

Tennis Elbow Pain is more likely to occur in people over the age of 35 years. The problem is most likely to occur in your dominant arm. That is if you are right handed, your right elbow will be affected and if you are left handed your left elbow will be affected.

If you perform activities that involve repetitive elbow and wrist movements you are more likely to develop the condition. So mechanics, butchers, and construction workers are all at risk. A one-off event such as gripping or lifting a heavy bag can also cause Tennis Elbow.

The main symptom with Tennis Elbow is pain, aching or stiffness felt over the outside part of the elbow. Pain can sometimes spread down the forearm but rarely spreads into the hand.

With the arm outstretched and the thumb side up, it is the upper or outside part of the elbow that is affected.

Tennis Elbow sufferers are also tender to touch over the outer part of the affected elbow, usually over the bony prominence - the bit that sticks out. This is termed the Lateral Epicondyle. You may have read or heard about the term Lateral Epicondylitis.

This is a rather long-winded way of saying that the Lateral Epicondyle is inflamed (the '-itis' means inflammation). This is very misleading because if anything is inflamed in Tennis Elbow, it's definitely not the bone.

Tennis Elbow pain is often made worse by movements of the hand and/or elbow. Gripping actions of the hand, such as lifting heavy bags or using tools aggravate the pain. Sometimes driving or computer use can make the pain worse. Turning doorknobs and keys in locks can also hurt.

So what causes Elbow Tendonitis Symptoms ?

Tennis Elbow pain arises because an area where a number of tendons that attach to the arm bone, become painful.

This area is called the Common Extensor Origin or CEO, for short. The most common cause of pain is the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis tendon. It is only a small area - incredible how such a small tendon attachment can give so much pain !

For a long time Physiotherapists and Doctors believed that all Tennis Elbow was caused by inflammation of the tendons at the elbow. Consequently the main treatments suggested were anti-inflammatory: medication, injections/shots, creams and applying ice to the affected area.

However - and this is a BIG however - it is no longer thought that all pain from Tennis Elbow is due to inflammation.
