10 Symptoms of Tennis Elbow
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Tenderness
Tennis elbow is also known to cause tenderness, which is a bit different than pain. Pain can occur whether or not the arm is actually under pressure or being used. Tenderness, on the other hand, tends to occur only when pressure is being applied to the area.
Tenderness is not generally as uncomfortable as pain, but it can make it more difficult to engage in regular activities. It is not usually a problem unless the arm is being used and subsides when the arm is allowed to rest.
