What Is Elbow Pain?
Elbow pain is discomfort or pain around the elbow joint that can affect arm movement and daily activities such as lifting, gripping, or bending the arm. It may develop due to overuse, injury, or inflammation and can occur at any age.
All About Elbow Pain
Elbow pain is commonly caused by overuse injuries such as tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow, ligament strain, arthritis, nerve irritation, fractures, or repetitive movements involving the arm and wrist.
Symptoms include pain while gripping or lifting objects, stiffness, swelling, tenderness around the elbow, weakness in the arm, and pain that worsens with repeated movement.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the condition. Most elbow pain can be managed with rest, medications, physiotherapy, and activity modification. Surgical treatment is considered in persistent or severe cases.
