Professor Wang Zhengyi of Mairui Orthopedics pointed out that there are many diseases that can cause elbow pain, such as osteoarthritis of the elbow, elbow joint hyperplasia, rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis, etc., but there is another disease that can also cause elbow pain, that is tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis of the humerus, which refers to inflammation and pain in the tendons on the outside of the elbow. The pain is caused by repeated exertion of the muscles responsible for dorsal extension of the wrist and fingers. Patients will feel pain in the affected area when grasping or lifting objects with force, which is caused by long-term overstrain of the elbow.

In the early stages of tennis elbow, patients only feel soreness and slight pain on the outside of the elbow. Patients feel pain when moving the upper outside of the elbow, and the pain sometimes radiates upward or downward. They feel soreness and discomfort and are unwilling to move. The pain worsens with force. Patients cannot hold objects with their hands, and movements such as holding a shovel, lifting a pot, twisting a towel, and knitting a sweater can aggravate the pain. In severe cases, pain may occur when straightening fingers, extending wrists or holding chopsticks.
