Elbow tendonitis Can Occur When the Tendons of the Forearm Are Overused
Elbow tendonitis usually results from overuse of the muscles and tendons of the forearm which causes inflammation as well as pain around the elbow joint. The mechanism that causes this condition to occur can differ from case to case and may be due to a single and violent action or because of repetitive stress injury that is very common, and occurs because of an action being performed repeatedly, thus causing pain to develop gradually. It can occur in everyone, especially golfers and tennis players, and is most pronounced when the offending action increases in intensity or duration. Elbow tendonitis is very common to athletes, but is also known to occur when weekend carpenters use hand tools occasionally.
