Although tennis elbow may sound harmless, it can be debilitating. Technically known as lateral epicondylitis, it occurs when the ligaments surrounding the joint become inflamed, and the tissue deteriorates.
Usually caused by long periods of daily, repeated, twisting motions of the forearm, such as those made while playing tennis, it’s triggered by any number of activities, besides sports. In fact, it’s a common workplace injury that can make even simple things, such as shaking hands, turning doorknobs, or opening jars, excruciating.
