Pain from the lateral and the medial aspect of the elbow is a common symptom in sports, other recreational activities, or work. In tennis elbow, the pain is elicited from the common extensor origin just distal of the lateral epicondyle, while in golfer's elbow, the pain is elicited from the flexor-pronator mass just distal to the medial epicondyle. The main symptoms are pain from the epicondyles of the elbow and are related to activity level. The pathogenesis is not known, but these conditions are considered to be overuse injuries of degenerative nature. The diagnoses are verified by clinical examination. Further investigation is not necessary with typical history and clinical findings, and the conditions are self-limiting with good prognosis. In the literature, the golden standard for treatment is conservative treatment although the support in the literature is not conclusive. No treatment has convincing evidence for a faster recovery even though there are, of course, methods for reducing pain symptoms. When the pain is under control, it is important that the return to activity is gradual.
