  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tennis-elbow/symptoms-causes/syc-20351987

  The pain of tennis elbow occurs mainly where the tough, cord-like tissues of forearm muscles, known as tendons, attach to a bony bump on the outside of the elbow. Tiny tears and longtime swelling, known as inflammation, can cause the tendon to break down. This causes the pain. […] Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that can result from overuse of the muscles and tendons in the elbow. Tennis elbow is often linked to repeated motions of the wrist and arm. […] Tennis elbow is often linked to overuse and muscle strain. But the cause is not well understood. Sometimes, repeated tensing of the forearm muscles that are used to straighten and raise the hand and wrist triggers the symptoms. This can cause a breakdown of the fibers in the tendon that attaches the forearm muscles to the bony bump at the outside of the elbow. […] Less often, an injury or a condition that affects the body’s connective tissues causes tennis elbow. Often, the cause isn’t known.

  Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition of the elbow caused by overuse. Not surprisingly, playing tennis or other racquet sports can cause this condition. However, several other sports and activities can also put you at risk. […] Tennis elbow involves the degeneration (wearing down) or, in some cases, microtearing of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow. The forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse repeating the same motions again and again, which leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. […] Tennis elbow is often due to damage to a specific forearm muscle (ECRB). The ECRB muscle helps stabilize the wrist when the elbow is straight. This occurs during a tennis groundstroke, for example. When the ECRB muscle is weakened from overuse, microscopic tears form in the ECRB tendon where it attaches to the lateral epicondyle. This leads to pain directly over the outside (lateral) part of the elbow.

  Tennis elbow is the most common cause of lateral-sided elbow pain with a major socioeconomic impact. The etiology of tennis elbow is not completely understood. […] The etiology of TE is not completely understood. However, it is assumed that overuse leads to an increase in tenocyte proliferation and production of ground substance. Repetitive overuse results in tendon dysrepair with macroscopic abnormalities of the tendon collagen. The end stage of tendinopathy is characterized by degenerative features, including an abnormal tendon structure and neovascularization. There is probably no presence of classic inflammation, but several cytokines might play a role in the etiology of TE. […] Genetic predisposition also seems to play a role; individuals with the BstUI A1 allele and DpnII B2 allele of the COL5A1 gene have a high likelihood of developing symptoms of the TE. […] The type of work that increases the risk of TE is characterized by strenuous manual activities for the wrist and/or elbow which consist of both force and posture.

It develops in one of the tendons that connects the muscles of the forearm to the humerus (upper arm bone) at the lateral epicondyle (a knobby portion of bone where the extensor muscles of the elbow originate). […] Most patients are over 40, because aging tendons are more vulnerable to repetitive stress. […] The mechanism that causes the pain is not well-understood. […] Some studies indicate that, in most patients, pain in the outer elbow may clear up on its own over a period of a year or two. […] Patients whose symptoms persist, or who do not achieve adequate relief from these measures, may be candidates for a cortisone injection (a potent anti-inflammatory agent). […] The mechanism for pain relief provided by these injections is unclear particularly in the absence of a significant number of inflammatory cells.
