Elbow Pain
Is something as simple as using your computer mouse, turning a screw driver or pouring a cup of tea giving you elbow pain?
You might have what is called a ‘Tennis Elbow’ (overuse injury that affects the outer elbow) or ‘Golfers Elbow’ (overuse injury that affects the inner elbow). Contrary to what the names suggest, you don’t have to be a sports person to have these health conditions.
