10 Causes of Elbow Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #3: Tennis Elbow
Where your elbow joint is, you will find a large tendon attached to the muscles that move your arms, wrists, and fingers. This tendon obviously sees a lot of action and is expected to work hard on a daily basis. Tendons are very tough, but they are not invincible and they can become swollen and sore if overused. This results in a condition known as tennis elbow.
The condition is not found in tennis players only, of course, but it is a fairly common condition in tennis players as they use their elbow a great deal. Anybody could develop the condition and it can be painful while also limiting their mobility.
