Orthopedic, Arthroscopy & Joint Replacement Surgeon in Kalyan, Dr Amit Garud, explains that tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is caused by overuse of the tendons around the elbow. It affects not only athletes but also carpenters, painters, homemakers, and computer users who perform repetitive arm movements.
Symptoms include:
· Pain on the outer side of the elbow
· Weak grip strength
· Discomfort while lifting, twisting, or typing
Treatment usually involves rest, ice, anti inflammatory medicines, physiotherapy, and ergonomic adjustments. Severe cases may require injections or surgical options.
If elbow pain is affecting daily activities, consult your doctor for timely care.
