Tennis Elbow is the inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow.
Golfers Elbow is pain in the tendons which connect the forearm to the elbow.
Repetitive movement, such as the hitting of a tennis ball, a golf ball, or other manual movement, such as hammering nails, clipping hedges and some gardening, can cause these conditions.
If left untreated the conditions can create a thickening of the tendon which could progress into disrepair and degeneration.
