Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is caused by inflammation of the muscles of the forearm that attach to the elbow. It’s usually a result of inflammation of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon.
 
Tennis elbow is an overuse injury caused by a repetitive activity. Although common in racket sports, it can also be seen in workplace injuries, particularly among painters, carpenters, and plumbers.
 
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, typical symptoms of tennis elbow include pain and burning on the outside of the elbow and weak grip strength.

Symptoms develop over time and may gradually worsen over weeks or months. Nonsurgical treatment includes:
 
  • rest
  • ice
  • nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as Advil or Aleve)
  • exercise
  • ultrasound
  • bracing and compression
  • steroid injections
