She presented with a 7-month history of radial forearm pain and tenderness with mild swelling, and was unable to swing the tennis racket. MRI showed high intensity within the brachioradialis muscle. Endoscopic fasciotomy showed degeneration of the brachioradialis muscle belly. Complete pain relief was obtained 4 months after the fasciotomy.
