Fort Oglethorpe tennis elbow, or Lateral Epicondylitis, is the most common illness that afflicts the upper body.
But tennis players cannot lay full claim to tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is caused by excessive strain in the muscles of the forearm (wrist extensor group) which is commonly seen in tennis players, carpenters, secretaries, manual laborers and many more professions. So one can say that tennis elbow can arise from any activity that calls for repetitive wrist extension, says Dr. William Johnson DC. 90% of patients with tennis elbow will feel the focus of their pain at the tendo periosteal junction where the common extensor tendon arises from (the outer region of the elbow). Some patients with tennis elbow will feel pain radiating to the back of the forearm and wrist area.
GA tennis elbow takes a long time to recuperate because of the absence of a tendon sheath and this can be difficult for the patient. The common extensor origin is more like a muscle than a tendon, but its blood supply is poor, so It cannot derive nutrition from the fluid found in the tendon sheath.
