If your outer elbow or forearm isn’t feeling great, then you may be dealing with an injury called tennis elbow. This condition is also known as lateral epicondylitis, and it’s typically the result of repetitive elbow movements and stress. There are several symptoms that you’ll notice if you have tennis elbow. Fortunately, several treatments for this condition are available from physical therapists in Warrenton, Missouri.
What symptoms will you notice with tennis elbow?
Pain is typically the most common symptom of a sports injury, and tennis elbow is no exception. The pain may be most noticeable when you grip objects or twist your forearm. For instance, you may feel an increase in your tennis elbow pain when picking up a glass from a table or twisting a doorknob. Swelling in the outside of your forearm or elbow is also a common symptom of this condition, and you may find that the area around the point of your elbow is extremely tender to the touch.
