Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by overuse of the arm, forearm, and hand muscles. It often results from repetitive motions, such as those used in tennis or other sports, but it can also occur due to repetitive tasks like typing or using tools.
The condition is characterized by pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow, which may extend down the forearm. Tennis elbow primarily affects the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle, the bony part of the elbow.
