People suffering from Tennis Elbow, or Lateral Epicondylitis, often experience pain and tenderness in the outer part of the elbow. This pain may radiate down the forearm, intensifying when shaking hands, squeezing objects, or stabilizing the wrist in activities such as typing or lifting items.
Symptoms can range from a mild discomfort that only occurs during activity, to a constant ache that hinders daily tasks. Other symptoms include reduced grip strength, difficulty in extending the forearm fully, and difficulty in moving the elbow due to stiffness.
It’s important to seek professional help if the pain persists for more than a few weeks, even when resting the arm, or if the pain is severe, waking you from sleep. Further indicators may include a loss of strength in the whole arm, noticeable swelling, or any inability to perform basic tasks such as holding a cup.
If you’re experiencing the symptoms of Tennis Elbow, it’s time to get help from a medical professional. Don’t let the pain hold you back from living an active life. Call Push Pounds Sports Medicine Centre and start your journey towards recovery today!
