The symptoms of Tennis Elbow are pain into the outside of your elbow joint, whilst with Golfer’s Elbow the pain is on the inside of the joint. You may also be experiencing pain in your forearm and into the lower part of your upper arm.
Their name can be somewhat confusing as, although they can be caused by playing golf or tennis, more often than not they will be the result of something other than sport.
With both conditions grip-strength could be affected and you may find that the elbow and forearm feel weak and painful when performing simple tasks such as picking up a kettle, turning stiff door handles and using tools like screwdrivers.
Although we see and treat both of these conditions in clinic, Tennis Elbow is the much more common of the two.
