A member asked:
Are spasms a part of experiencing tennis elbow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: Yes potentially. The technical term for tennis elbow is lateral epicondylitis, which is usually started by an inflammatory condition or tear at the site of orgin of the extensors of the wrist onto the elbow. This can be associated with spasms on the dorsum of the forearm. Don't hesitate to be seen if you are having problems.
