Tennis elbow

Since I started playing badminton again, I have developed a condition called tennis elbow. Medically, it is called lateral epicondylitis. In simple terms, it is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes painful.

Truth be told, I have never heard of any of the terms before. The pain is familiar but not the terms that come with the pain. So, today I have learnt something new. Here is more information on this condition.

Apparently there is also a condition called golfer's elbow or medial epicondylitis. Fortunately (or otherwise, depending on who you talk to), I am not a golfer.
