Does tennis elbow affect any other parts of the body like the shoulders and the hands? Not normally no, tennis elbow doesn't appear to affect the hand or the shoulder but if you have a painful elbow then what tends to happen is you're not able to optimally load the shoulder and the hand and that's general for any joint so if you have a problem around one joint then it tends to put more strain on the joints adjacent, but typically tennis elbow doesn't significantly affect the hand or the shoulder.
