Where is tennis elbow pain?

Question

I've started playing badminton more regularly and now I have this nagging ache in my arm. A friend said it sounds like 'tennis elbow', so I want to know where is tennis elbow pain typically felt?

My orthopaedic doctor explained that tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is typically felt on the outer part of the elbow. It's where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the outside of your elbow. The pain can sometimes radiate down into your forearm and wrist, especially with gripping or lifting.

It's usually the outer part of the elbow. Very common in people who use their forearms a lot for work or sports. Don't ignore it; get it checked by a doctor quickly. Early intervention like rest and physiotherapy saves a lot of time and hassle later.

My son got it from too much gaming, poor posture! For him, the pain was mostly on the outside of his elbow, just above the joint. We noticed it got worse when he tried to lift things or even turn a doorknob. Getting a good physio really helped him.

Neha Gupta · Answer

Generally, tennis elbow pain is located on the outer side of the elbow. It's an overuse injury, so activities involving repetitive wrist and arm movements can trigger it. If you're experiencing this, it's always best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as self-diagnosis can be tricky.

Hey there! 👋 Most people feel tennis elbow pain on the outside of their elbow, just where the forearm connects. It can feel a bit tender to touch there, especially when you try to grip things or twist your wrist. Hope you feel better soon! 😊
