can tennis elbow cause pain in your shoulder?
Tennis Elbow Pain with tennis elbow is typically localised over the bony bump on the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle) and may extend down to the hand. This area is usually very tender to touch. Rest usually relieves the pain. Sometimes other conditions that are not linked to tennis elbow can cause pain in the elbow. For example, arthritis of the elbow, a pinched nerve in the neck, shoulder impingement and carpal tunnel syndrome. Treatment: The type and duration of the treatment will depend on the severity of the condition. The first step in treating tennis elbow is to manage the activities that cause the pain, such as tennis or golf. 1  Pain killers and anti-inflammatory medications relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation. 2  A tennis elbow strap can be worn just below the elbow to limit the stress on the ECRB tendon.
