The pain is primarily due to microscopic tears and inflammation of the tendons of the forearm due to repeating motion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tennis elbow is not only restricted to tennis players, but it can develop doing an unusual activity which involves using your wrist and forearms. Given the name, surprisingly 5 in 100 tennis players get tennis elbow. Other sports, like Javelin, discus, badminton and squash have higher incidence of tennis elbow than actual tennis players. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In non- athletes, it is commonly seen in individuals who use shears while gardening, or doing excessive manual work using hands. Activities involving fine repetitive movements\u00a0 like using scissors, typing or playing video games with controllers for long hours are exposed to injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yossportshealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image_2019_12_20T10_28_50_768Z.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yos.health\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image_2019_12_20T10_28_50_768Z.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.yos.health\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image_2019_12_20T10_28_50_768Z-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.yos.health\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/image_2019_12_20T10_28_50_768Z-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Are you experiencing pain on the outside of your forearm, near to the elbow<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important thing you can do is to listen to your body. <\/span><b>STOP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the aggravating activity.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can take over the counter (OTC) painkillers such as paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inflammatory\u00a0 in the form of topical gels applied to the elbow and forearm.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are an athlete, you may want to reconsider changing raquet and bats.
