Tennis elbow is most commonly a chronic condition.
It occurs due to overuse and damage to the forearm muscles, tendons and the other muscles surrounding the elbow by doing repetitive movements.
These, in turn, causes inflammation or mild tears in the tendons, a process known as tendinitis or tendon degeneration.
Here are some common activities that cause tennis elbow:
-Playing racquet sports like tennis, squash and badminton
-Sports that involve full arm extension and throwing (overarm throwing)
-Lifting weights frequently
-Repetitive hand and wrist movements in activities like typing
-Occupations involving repetitive hand grasping like bricklaying
-Regular use of hand tools in occupations such as painting
