1. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
If you suffer with pain over the outside of the elbow, you may have Tennis Elbow. If pain is intensified by twisting the forearm and and increased by lifting when the forearm is pronated (palm down), and less painful with the forearm supinated (palm up), you may suffer with "Lateral Epicondylitis".
This condition usually comes on slowly over time.
Elbow joint range of motion usually remains near normal, but motion is usually painful. Tennis Elbow is caused by repetitive rotation of the forearm. The most causative motion being extension of the wrist with rotation of the forearm against resistance. This motion is very descriptive of the tennis swing, hence the name "Tennis Elbow".

Recommended Treatment

After proper diagnosis of the problem by a professional, the following options for treatment 
would be helpful to reduce and help eliminate the pain:

  • Support the muscle and limit it's use.
    A Tennis Elbow Support is very effective at compressing the muscle and limiting it's use. When properly braced, an immediate improvement is symptoms is common.
