When to Seek Medical Care

Tennis elbow does not usually lead to serious problems. If the condition continues and is left untreated, however, loss of motion or loss of function of the elbow and forearm can develop.

Call your doctor if the following conditions develop:

  • Pain that limits your daily activity

  • Pain that lasts despite ice, resting, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory pain relievers

  • Any weakness or numbness in the hand, which may mean you have another type of injury in the wrist or elbow
