Could be: Most of the patients i see with tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis get it from tennis, weights or other activities such as carpentry work i guess badminton could cause it though i don't see a lot of badminton players? Try to keep the forearm muscles strong to avoid the problem.

Start with RICE: Lateral epicondylitis (aka "tennis elbow") is a common overuse injury to the elbow. In order to treat the pain, i recommend you start with rice, follow with stretching/ strengthening (therapy), & consider couterforce bracing. If these treatments fail you may be a candidate for cortisone or prp injections. Some people end up needing surgery... http://drmarkgalland.com/category/elbow.
