    Does anyone know if you can get tennis elbow from playing badminton? I think I have tennis elbow, because this part on the upper and outer part of my elbow is painful when pressed.....Is it ok to continue playing?

    i think you can only get tennis elbow from badminton if you do alot of overhead backhand shots

    i used to get pain there when i was a beginner... tahts about the time i was told to start hitting round the head :D

    You can get tennis elbow from a lot of things, I think it is technically a form of tendonitis so thinking it is specificaly linked to tennis is wrong.

    Oh, good grief! :mad:

    Do a search on tennis elbow, dudes. I garuntee all your questions will be answered.

    Hey, this is my first 'do a search before posting' moan. Does that make me a BC bore?
