Tennis Elbow

Tennis Elbow is when the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender, usually as a result
of a specific strain, overuse, or a direct bang.

Test for tenderness over or near to the bony bump on the outside of the elbow, and test to see
whether the pain gets worse when you bend the wrist back (extend it) against resistance.
In the event of both these signs being present, it is likely that you have tennis elbow.

Tennis Elbow Treatment

- Rest helps, with avoidance of the activities which over use the elbow.
- Physiotherapy treatments, which may include heat or ultrasound therapy.
- Anti inflammatory drugs and ordinary pain killers (analgesics).
- Buy a brace from a sports shop or pharmaceutical supplier.
