Tennis elbow is a clinical diagnosis, it cannot be diagnosed on x-rays.
Treatment is conservative.
1. Strict rest to elbow for 3-4 weeks.
2. Hot water compression is helpful.
3. Medications like Enzomac and Tendocare can be taken.
4. Intralesional injections are reserved for resistant or recurrent cases.
