Tennis elbow
A tennis elbow or tennis arm is a injury that is very common. It consist of pain/high sensitivity around the elbow. To be precise, on the outside of the inside of the forearm. From here, there is a radiating pain in the direction of the forearm. The muscles that are responsible for stretching the wrist and fingers lie here.
A tennis elbow is caused by a overloading movement. Because a typical movement is made often, the body will signal, in the form of pain, that it does not like this movement. A tennis elbow is not very common in tennis, it can only occur while practising the backhand strike.
A tennis elbow consist of a irritation or inflammation in the tendon. As a result, little cracks form inside the tendon. That is also the reason why this injury can last a long time. Most people suffer a good 9 months from this injury.
