Lateral Epicondylitis or Tennis Elbow is a condition with pain affecting the outer side of the elbow.
Usually caused as a result of repetitive stressful gripping and lifting. They are commonly seen in Racket players, Javelin throwers, Cricketers, Tennis and Golf Players. It can also be an occupational hazard where strong forearm muscle contraction is required while gripping a heavy object and therefore, is commonly seen in people who are manual workers such as carpenters, plumbers, butchers and painters. Basically, the origin of extensor group of the muscle arising at the lateral (outer) condyle gets inflamed. Remedies include: 1. Ice – Ice the painful elbow. This can help reduce symptoms but may not completely eliminate them. 2. Use of forearm bands can help reduce the force transmitted on the elbow while gripping. 3. Alternative sport activity - One where gripping heavy object isn’t involved can be continued to maintain the physical activity level. 4. Weight lifting can be continued provided heavy lifting isn’t involved as higher weights require a stronger grip which could further aggravate the condition. 5. Care should be taken in exercises like Skull crusher, Bicep curls etc. 6. Basic stretches for the forearm muscles can be helpful to some extent followed by strengthening exercises. ⚠️Make sure your exercises routine is well plan by a physiotherapist or an expert to avoid unwanted stress.⚠️ ⚠️Disclaimer Alert: This health information is for general education purposes only.

It hurts, when I try to squeeze my palms in a fist. And as mentioned, bicep curls too. I was just hoping it to be minor and heal with proper rest for a couple of days.
