What is Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)? Tennis elbow is a condition that causes pain outside of the elbow. It happens when the tendons in your forearm become irritated or damaged from repetitive movements, like lifting, typing, or gripping.
You don’t need to play tennis to get tennis elbow — it’s common in:
- Office workers
- Gym-goers
- Massage therapists
- Tradespeople
- Anyone using their arms and hands repeatedly
Common Symptoms:
- Pain or burning on the outside of the elbow

- Pain that gets worse with use
