Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow is a type of tendonitis, an inflammation of the tendons that causes pain in the elbow and arm. These tendons are ligaments of hard tissue that connect the muscles of the forearm to the bone. Despite the name, you can still have a tennis elbow even if you've never been around a tennis court. In contrast, any repetitive grasping action, especially with your thumb and first two fingers, can help develop a tennis elbow.
