Elbow pain can occur. It is common in tennis players and it typically occurs on the outside part of the elbow. It is called lateral epicondylitis. It can occur on the inside, commonly referred to as golfers elbow. Golfers get medial epicondylitis.

Most people can get better with non-surgical care. Rest, otc medications and stretching helps. Changing your grip can make a difference.

Occasionally your doctor may offer an injection of cortisone or PRP.

Some patients who fail 6 to 12 months of non-op care may benefit from surgery.
