Tendinitis of the upper arm (tennis elbow)

The so-called tennis elbow (epicondylitis humeri radialis) is an inflammation of the tendons on the upper side of the forearm. It starts on the outside of the elbow and causes pain there that can radiate to the entire forearm. Repeated movements, such as those performed in tennis, can lead to this inflammation. However, this disease can also occur as a result of housework, other sports or with musicians.
