Epicondylitis (tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow)

Elbow pain — in athletes and in people who spend long hours working at a desk.

Elbow pain is frequently seen in people with sedentary jobs, especially those whose elbows rest on a desk for long periods. This condition is sometimes also known as “office elbow” and over time can lead to tension and inflammation in the musculoskeletal system.
