Tennis elbow, medically known aslateral epicondylitis, is a painful overuse injury affecting the tendons that connect the muscles controlling the wrist and fingers to a bony protrusion on the elbow called the lateral epicondyle. These tendons are involved with motions of the arm that bend or twis...

These muscles attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. Hence the other term for it is lateral epicondylitis – since the ‘common extensor attachment’ is involved due to the repetitive strain. Statistics on Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) ...
As the elbow slowly heals, you run a high risk of straining your muscles and tendons as they have become shortened due to lack of use - leading to more soft tissue injures and possibly putting you into a chronic soft tissue injury cycle....
