Both are tendon degeneration conditions treated similarly, but accurate diagnosis of which side is affected shapes the treatment plan.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral)

Pain on the outside of the elbow
Worsens with gripping and lifting
More common overall
Often from wrist extension activities

Golfer's Elbow (Medial)

Pain on the inside of the elbow
Worsens with wrist flexion and grip
Common in golf and throwing sports
Can involve nerve irritation nearby
