It is classified as a chronic tendinosis, not a tendinitis.[1] Treatment involves decreasing activities that bring on the symptoms together with physical therapy or other treatment gradually increasing loads.[4][1] Pain medications such as NSAIDS or acetaminophen (paracetamol) may be used.[1] A brace over the upper forearm may also be helpful.[2] If the condition does not improve corticosteroid injections or surgery may be recommended [1] although some experts recommend avoiding cortisone injections due to poor long-term results in high-quality trials.[5][6][7][8] Many people get better within one month to two years.[3][9] About 2% of people are affected.[3] Those 30 to 50 years old are most commonly affected.[2] The condition was initially described in 1873.[3] The name "lawn tennis elbow" first came into use for the condition in 1882.[10]
