Other
diagnostic single group
Patients diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis with physical examinations will be evaluated with electrophysiology After electrophysiological evaluations, patients' effected extremity evaluated with ultrasonography for lateral epicondylitis and radial tunnel syndrome and compared with uneffected side 30 minutes after posterior interosseous nerve block with 1 cc 2% lidocaine with USG guide, full examination will be repeated for evaluation of NRS score changing to exact diagnose of radial tunnel syndrome 30 minutes after lateral epicondyle 1 cc 2% lidocaine injection with USG guide, full examination will be repeated for evaluation of NRS score changing to final diagnose of lateral epicondylitis
