Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow, where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony prominence (lateral epicondyle). While it’s commonly associated with tennis players, this painful condition affects many individuals who engage in occupations or recreational activities that require repetitive and vigorous use of the forearm muscle.
