Clinical features

Individuals experiencing tennis elbow/golfer's elbow may complain of pain and tenderness over either of the two epicondyles or bony projections. This pain increases with gripping or rotation of the wrist and forearm. If the condition becomes long-standing, a decrease in grip strength can develop.

However, pain is the most common and obvious symptom associated with these conditions, and is most often experienced on the outside/inside of the upper forearm, but can also be experienced anywhere from the elbow joint to the wrist.

Weakness, stiffness and a reduced range of movement are also quite common symptoms. Sometimes tingling and numbness can be experienced.
