Elbow pain usually develops over time. Repetitive motions like gripping a racket during a swing can strain the muscles and put too much stress on the tendons. That constant tugging can eventually cause microscopic tears in the tissue. Injuries can occur to the tendons that attach to the elbow. Lateral epicondylitis is an inflammation of the tendons of muscles that extend the hand backward and away from the palm.
