Yes: most people that do get tennis elbow DONT play tennis. I typically see it in patients that do repetitive type work with their hands or arms, such as assembly line workers, heavy laborers, or even moms picking up their kids and toddlers all day long.

Yes: It is inflammation of the lateral epicondyl of the elbow caused by repetitive back and forth movement of the elbow.
