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.

The medical term for tennis elbow is lateral epicondylitis, which is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow. It is usually caused by repetitive motion or overuse of the forearm muscles. Treatment often includes rest, physical therapy, and sometimes corticosteroid injections.
The phrase "couldn't tell your ass from your elbow" means someone is confused or can't distinguish between two things. This is a playful way of highlighting the difference between two unrelated body parts.
No, tennis elbow is caused by an inflamation or infection of the bursa surrounding the elbow joint. Sleeping does not cause this
Tennis elbow would be far more common.
This could be caused by either Tennis or Golfers elbow depending on wether the pain is in the right or left elbow.
Swelling at the Medial Epicondyle
Tennis Elbow aka Epicondylitis, often occurs as a result of strenuous overuse of the muscles and tendons of the forearm and around the elbow joint. These Tendons attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
