Tennis elbow is a common condition that occurs as a result of repetitive activities. The pathologic process behind it is chronic degeneration of the extensor-supinator origin.
It is associated with sports and occupation-related movements ranging from forceful ones like using a hammer or swinging a tennis racquet to sedentary activities like using a computer mouse.
Most cases will clear up with activity modification, stretching and NSAIDs
Injections for tennis elbow are indicated when there is chronic pain and disability or functional impairment as a result of the pain.
