Tennis and golf elbow are generally forms of tendinosis caused by inflammation of the inner or outer elbow tendons. Elbow pain is usually described as a tenderness or weakness of the elbow joint, and is felt most often when extending the arm or bending the arm. Range of motion may or may not be affected by elbow discomfort. Tingling and numbness may also be experienced.
Tennis elbow is characterized by pain in the outer part of the elbow, while golf elbow presents as pain in the inside of the elbow. Often the pain radiates to the upper arm or upper forearm.
