Hi, I’m Dr. Anupam Khandelwal, a NMC , India (board certified) orthopedic and Joint disease surgeon in Indore, and I see patients every week with elbow pain in my various clinics in Indore, Dewas, Ujjain, Ratlam and other cities of Madhya Pradesh.
What is Tennis Elbow, Really? ЁЯкд
Tennis elbow happens when the tendons in your elbow get overused, usually from repetitive motions.
Tendons are the ends of muscles which attach to bones and help them move
These small tears and inflammation in the tendon lead to pain and tenderness on the outer side of your elbow.
Common Causes:
- Repetitive wrist or arm movements
- Lifting heavy objects at work or home
- Sports like tennis, badminton, or squash
- Even desk jobs involving frequent typing or mouse usage!
Symptoms of Tennis Elbow ЁЯШХ
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be time to get it checked:
- Pain or burning on the outside of your elbow
- Weak grip strength
- Pain worsens with wrist movement
- Discomfort while lifting, gripping, or twisting
These symptoms might seem mild at first but can become chronic if ignored.
