Tennisalbue og golfalbue: Diagnosen
Legen vil foreta en grundig undersøkelse av albuen. Sener og senefester testes. Laboratorieprøver eller røntgenundersøkelser har vanligvis ingen verdi i denne sammenheng, med mindre legen ser behov for å utrede andre mulige årsaker til albuesmerter. I sjeldne tilfeller ved usikker diagnose foreslår legen å sette en sprøyte med lokalbedøvelse inn i senefestet for å se om smerten forsvinner.
