1. Tennis elbow is caused due to inflammation of tendon which joins muscles of forearm to the bone of upper arm (humerus). It is known as lateral epicondylitis. 

2. It causes severe pain in the elbow. It occurs due to extensive repetitive movement of hand. This damages the tendon and increases the tenderness of the elbow joint. 

3. This disorder develops not only in athletes but also in other common people whose job involves  extensive movement of hand such as carpenter, painter, plumber, etc.
