Elbow Pain
Overview
Understanding Your Condition
Elbow pain is a common complaint with many possible causes. The elbow is a complex joint of bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles, any of which can be a source of pain. The pain can be acute or chronic and may result from injury, repetitive strain, or underlying conditions.
Causes & Types
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): inflammation of tendons on the outer elbow from repetitive motion.
- Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis): inflammation of tendons on the inner elbow.
- Fractures of the humerus, radius, or ulna from falls or impact.
- Dislocations: elbow joint bones forced out of alignment.
- Olecranon bursitis: inflammation of the bursa over the bony tip of the elbow.
- Biceps tendonitis from repetitive lifting or pulling.
- Cubital tunnel syndrome: compression of the ulnar nerve causing pain, numbness, and tingling.
- Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis affecting the joint.
