Q. Can tennis elbow cause a sound when I keep my elbow in hammer position?
Hello doctor,
I have had tennis elbow for four years. It does not pain usually, but a sound comes from my elbow when I move my hand in a hammer position. I have tried using an elbow brace, but it has not helped.
Kindly advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I feel that the complaint is due to an imbalance in musculature leading to bone-on-bone rubbing rather than a tennis elbow. I suggest the below tips to ease the pain:
- Stretch the elbow muscles (biceps and triceps) properly.
- Frequently apply ice to the elbow.
- Do forearm strengthening exercises.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
