Epicondylitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Epicondylitis is the inflammation or irritation of the tendons that attach at the elbow, commonly called "tennis elbow" when it affects the outer part, and it is usually related to repetitive movements of the arm and wrist.
Typical discomfort: Pain in the elbow area that may radiate to the forearm, weakness when gripping objects, and tenderness when pressing on the affected region.
When is it worth getting checked? If the pain persists, limits daily activities, or returns with exertion, an evaluation helps you understand the injury.
Who treats it? The physical therapist supports recovery and strengthening, and a sports medicine physician can provide guidance when it is related to physical activity. If elbow pain does not let up, consulting a professional allows you to take better care of the area.
