Elbow pain can greatly impact your ability to perform simple tasks and enjoy your favorite hobbies. It’s important to understand the potential causes behind your discomfort and seek appropriate treatment.

There are several common causes of elbow pain:

• Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): This condition is often caused by repetitive motions of the wrist and arm, leading to inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow.
• Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow involves inflammation of the tendons on the inside of the elbow, typically caused by repetitive wrist and forearm movements.
• Elbow Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint, can result in swelling, tenderness, and pain.
• Elbow Fracture or Sprain: Trauma or injury to the elbow, such as a fracture or sprain, can lead to significant pain and limited mobility.
• Arthritis: Various forms of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, can affect the elbow joint and cause chronic pain and stiffness.
