Dropped your cup of coffee this morning because of that sharp shooting pain in your elbow
Been told that you have to rest your arm to allow your elbow pain to settle, but you can’t stop work..
If you have pain on the outside of your elbow, you’re likely to have “Tennis Elbow”. Tennis Elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis is a common cause of elbow pain. It affects 1–3% of adults each year, with an annual incidence of 4–7 per 1000 individuals. Tennis elbow is when there is a tear or swelling in the tendons that attach the muscle of the forearm to the bone in the upper arm. It is caused by repeated use of the muscles around the elbow. If you stop doing whatever has caused the injury, tennis elbow usually gets better without treatment, but recovery can be slow, taking anything from a few months to 2 years. However, most people cannot stop the work they do which caused their elbow pain and continues to aggravate their elbow pain.
