Tennis elbow and Golfer's elbow are two types of sore elbow. The prominent knuckles (epicondyles) on either side of the elbow joint provide attachment to groups of forearm muscles. Due to the concentration of muscular attachments in a small area, these epicondyles are victimized by a constant pull from the muscles. Certain activities like tennis, golf, household work, and so on, lead to inflammation of these epicondyles causing sore elbow. Inflammation of the epicondyle on the outer side of the elbow (lateral) is called tennis elbow. Inflammation of the epicondyle on the inner side of the elbow (medial) is called golfer's elbow. Though, tennis and golf predispose people to these diseases, it is not a rule. Infact many people who dont play these games and lead a sedentary life may also get these diseases.

In a healthy elbow joint, the surfaces at the end of the humerus, ulna and radius ( the bones the end of which form the elbow hinge, are very smooth and covered with a strong protective tissue called cartilage. Arthritis can result from traumatic damage to the bone resulting in loss or damage to cartilage, or it can be the result of inflammation as is the case with Rheumatoid arthritis where cartilage is destroyed as the result of the body's own misguided immune reaction. When this happens the three bones rub directly together. This results in further damage to the bones surfaces which then become painful.
