  • Tennis elbow is probably the most common cause of elbow pain in adults. You don’t have to be a tennis player to get it, though. In this video, I discuss what tennis elbow is, how a doctor tells if you have it, and how you can get over it.

    Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a common cause of elbow pain on the outside of your elbow and forearm. Usually it develops over time rather than after a traumatic event. Typically, you notice pain just below the bony prominence on the outside of your elbow. You might notice pain with extending your wrist or turning your forearm so that your palm is facing up.
    A majority of patients do not need surgery for tennis elbow. Often rest, ice and a short period where you avoid painful activities is enough to help you get over the pain. Sometimes wearing a counterforce strap just below your elbow when you do physical activities can help. Physical therapy can be very helpful too. Even injections, like a cortisone shot or PRP, has a role for some patients. Occasionally you might need surgery.
    In this video, I discuss the diagnosis and treatment options for lateral epicondylitis. If you have elbow pain, watch it and decide if you should see a doctor for tennis elbow.

    I recently took up guitar and developed pain (maybe tennis elbow?) in my upper forearm/elbow of my pick hand. thought if anything it would be in my fret hand but maybe its from holding the pick too tight while strumming/picking.

    So I play baseball. I've had this pain for atleast a year but it's only when I pitch. Normally I throw and afterwards my entire elbow and inner arm is in sharp shooting pain and arm won't stop shaking. 2 weekends ago I threw about 7 pitches and my arm had started shaking really bad and the pain made me tear up. Ever since then my elbow area and inner elbow area is in constant pain as soon as I straighten the arm. I'm 21 and my dad told me it's genetic and he got it around my age aswell. I went to a doctor and they felt my elbow and they said where I point out the pain it's definently tennis elbow so they sent me for sonars but they didn't notice anything. They recommended I go to a orthopedic surgeon to get a mri scan done but I have no idea if it's worth it or not and I'd like some advice on if I should and if the symptoms I've said is a sign something is wrong

      This is called golfers elbow (inside). Its caused by grip and or flexion of the wrist. These muscles have been over used or they are to weak and need to be strengthened.
      Tennis elbow (outside) is caused by extension of the wrist. Rest, ultrasound and very slow strengthening. This type of injury is often caused by overuse or poor technique.

      See a sports physio. I strongly recommend ultrasound. Avoid cortisone injections - after 3 dont do any more.
      I recommend you look at your grip. Use a "weak" not a "death" grip. Use dumbells not a barbell. Put both arms out and make fists in both hands. You will see that your right hand and left hand are not in alignment. When you hold a barbell your hands are twisted outwards - elbow strain on the inside. Spend some time on yt looking for alternative exercises to what you are doing now. Look at the type of lat pull down bar you are using. Is this twisting your hands. Do not do behind the head anything - pullups, pulldowns, squats etc.
      Be carefull of old school advice on weigth lifting. Some of the exercises lead to permanent injury. You have plenty of time to research this on yt. Take a hard look at technique. The first year of any lifting program should be technique only - light weights. Watch posture and neutral wrist alignment. Look at what you are doing when you are not training.
      Be prepared to give up a year getting this right or suffer for life.

Ice, rest and a bit of massage only works for mild cases. If anyone doesnt like my advise they dont have to. Like I said get a first hand medical opinion and go from there. Other reasons for elbow pain can be nerve damage or onset of diabetes.
