About the disease & condition

Tennis elbow and shoulder problems are overuse injuries affecting tendons in the elbow or shoulder, including rotator cuff tendinitis. They result from repetitive motions, poor technique, or improper posture, commonly seen in sports, lifting, or computer work. Symptoms include pain, weakness, and limited arm movement. Diagnosis involves physical examination and imaging. Management focuses on proper technique, ergonomic adjustments, strengthening exercises, and physiotherapy to relieve pain, prevent chronic tendon damage, and restore function for daily and sports activities.

Known Symptoms

Pain on the outer elbow or shoulder during activity.
Weak grip affecting hand strength and daily tasks.
Limited arm movement reducing functional performance.
Discomfort increases with repetitive or overhead motions.

Known Causes

Repetitive motions in sports, lifting, or computer work.
Poor posture or improper technique stressing tendons.
Overuse without adequate rest or recovery periods.
Weak supporting muscles increasing strain on tendons.

Care

Use proper technique and warm-up before physical activity.
Practice ergonomic movements to reduce tendon stress.
Strengthening exercises and physiotherapy to restore function.
Seek early medical attention for persistent pain or weakness to prevent chronic tendon damage.
