Pro: I just included tennis elbow because I think it's more common than golfer's elbow (granted this is based on the purely local evidence provided by my father, an avid golfer and a notorious hypochondriac, who never complained of anything wrong with either of his elbows).
yarb: I am in a bad way, though it has a quite specific origin, the condition known to travelers to Mexico as Montezuma's revenge.

If it's a matter of how common it is, then Ondine's curse is a priori excluded, I guess...

Pro: what is your fascination with poor suffering Ondine?
I'm not adding 'Delhi belly'. I have standards for my lists. Sometimes they may be obscure, but I do have them. And 'Delhi belly' is an unfortunate coinage, at best.

When I first (just now) saw the word Dehli belly I thought it referred to that little patch of belly you often see peeking through the middle of the sari wrappings, and that made me laugh! Then I read up on it -- eeuuww!

I had Plantar's warts (amusing name) when I was a young oik, but not since.
