Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are conditions that cause pain around the outside or inside of the elbow. They often occur after strenuous overuse of the muscles and tendons near the elbow joint (for example, after playing tennis or golf).
The pain caused by tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow can last for several weeks or months, but will eventually get better.
