Other injuries and conditions with similar symptoms:The symptoms for this injury are very similar to Entrapment of the radial nerve which we recommend you also have a look at. It is important to have the neck examined as well, as elbow pain can be referred from problems in this region. See the neck pain page for further details.
Causes of tennis elbow: Tennis elbow is often caused by overuse or repetitive strain caused by repeated extension (bending back) of the wrist against resistance. This may be from activities such as tennis, badminton or squash but is also common after periods of excessive wrist use in day-to-day life.
