If you’ve ever felt a sharp pain on the outside of your elbow while lifting, gripping, or even shaking hands – you might be dealing with tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis.
And no, you don’t have to be a tennis player to get it! 🎾
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? 🪤
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 😕
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.

Tennis Elbow Treatment Options in Indore ⚡
Here’s how we usually manage tennis elbow:
1. Rest & Activity Modification ☕
Avoiding repetitive strain is the first step. Sometimes, just a few weeks of rest and avoiding aggravating activities can help a lot.
2. Medications 💊
Painkillers and anti-inflammatory tablets help control pain. I may also prescribe topical gels or muscle relaxants.
3. Physiotherapy 💪
This is key! My clinic works with experienced physiotherapists in Indore who guide you with strengthening and stretching exercises for long-term recovery.

Using a forearm strap reduces stress on the tendon and gives relief during activity.

For stubborn cases, we use your own blood’s healing cells to speed up recovery. This is a safe and natural method offered right here in Indore. This new branch of orthopedics is called Joint Rejuvenation. Joint rejuvenation includes Ortho biologics like PRP therapy are proven helpful in resistant cases of tennis Elbow.
