Tennis Elbow

It is a painful condition that arises when tendons in your elbow are overworked, usually by repetitive forceful motions of the forearm, wrists, and elbow. The weakening tendons result in swelling or inflammation, which leads to pain in the arm and elbow. Despite its name, you can get it even if you have never played tennis or racket ball. Gardening, typing, assembling furniture (repetitive screwing of hardware), using a computer mouse excessively while positioned in poor wrist postures, or even a marathon bingo game can lead to tennis elbow. Anyone who performs repetitive motions with their wrists or elbows can suffer from this painful condition.
