Chronic Tear: Tennis elbow is a chronic tendon tear in the elbow (on the outside of the elbow - away from your body). This is an age-related chronic tendon tear. It usually goes away if you wait long enough - treatment involves avoiding painful activity, therapy, injections of steroid, and rarely, surgery.

Tennis elbow: Tennis elbow is actually a condition of the wrist and finger extensor attachments onto the elbow. It is actually described as more of a degeneration microscopically than a true inflammation as its name would imply (lateral epicondylitis). Initial treatment includes stretching exercises, lifting restrictions and sometimes counterforce bracing. If this doesnt help, see a health care professional.
