Inflammation of muscle attachment to lateral epicondyle of elbow strongly gripping tennis elbow
Spasm
Sudden involuntary strong muscle contraction
Intermittent claudication
Attacks of severe pain and lameness caused by ischemia of muscles
Contracture
Abnormal shortening of muscle fibers tendons or fascia
Atrophy
