Tennis elbow

When I was in Robinson Galleria, Manila, I heard two women talking about their "tennis elbow", the pain they have to endure.

A former colleague of mine, who was a tennis player, had the same condition. No wonder he was so grouchy.

Tennis elbow (also known as "shooter's elbow" and "archer's elbow") is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes sore and tender. It is commonly associated with playing tennis and other racquet sports, though the injury can happen to almost anybody.[1]

The condition is also known as lateral epicondylitis ("inflammation of the outside elbow bone"),[2] a misnomer as histologic studies have shown no inflammatory process. Other descriptions for tennis elbow are lateral epicondylosis, lateral epicondylalgia, or simply lateral elbow pain.

Runge is usually credited for the first description in 1873 of the condition.[3] The term tennis elbow was first used in 1883 by Major in his paper "Lawn-tennis elbow" (source :wikipedia)

If you're a sufferer, apply about three drops of pure MAC to the affected area, and drink a glass of water with 5 drops of MAC. The pain will be gone in a few seconds.
