  • In healthy people, it happens due to sports; like tennis and also cricket in which these areas are affected with repeated use of the joints. I have also faced this issue, I was playing cricket; doing fast bowling and my wrist muscles restored pain in it's muscles, moreover, riding a bike also cause this inflammation in the wrist areas due to the continuous pull and release of the clutch.
  • However, in older people; the muscles changes it's shape and becomes weak, thus, tennis elbow becomes common.

  • Wrist flexor stretch gave me a severe pain. It were pulling my hand's muscle strings, I think my wrist muscle's were affected due to fast bowling in cricket. My wrist holded the pain after the bowling session, my muscles gained pain. This flex was very difficult to perform, my wrist back muscles were hurting. But it was beneficial for the arm to stretch my muscles to relax my hand's pain.

  • The front and end stretch was a difficult one to perform and the side one's were fine. My hand become a little warmer at the start, later it was relaxed with continuously doing the exercise.

In the end, I will say that all the stretches which were resisting my affected region cause pain and my body started becoming warmer, the warming was, like that someone is inserting needles into my head and my upper back, sweating started on my front upper head.
