Common Causes For Elbow Pain

Ankle pain can greatly disrupt daily activities. It’s crucial to understand the common causes to find relief.

Elbow Sprain / Strain

This happens when the ligaments, muscles, or tendons in the elbow are stretched or torn beyond their capacity due to sudden overextension of the tissues. It may result in swelling, pain, and limited elbow mobility.

Little Leaguer’s Elbow

A frequent overuse injury seen in adolescent baseball/softball players, where repetitive overhand throwing causes inflammation of the inner elbow growth plate, leading to pain during or after throwing.

Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) sprain

The ligaments on the inner side of your elbow are stretched or torn as a result of a throwing motion, commonly observed in baseball players.

Tendinopathy

This diagnosis encompasses any issue with a tendon, such as disease, injury, or disorder. The most common types of tendon injuries include tendonitis and tendinosis.

Tennis elbow

This condition arises from inflammation in the tendons of the outer elbow (lateral epicondyle). It is often linked with activities requiring gripping, lifting, or twisting of the forearm, such as using a tennis racket, paintbrush, or hammer.

Golfer’s elbow

It resembles tennis elbow but with pain on the inside of the elbow caused by overuse of muscles that flex the wrist and fingers.

Arthritis

This is a condition characterized by inflammation of the joint, resulting in pain, swelling, and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and psoriatic arthritis are all conditions that can impact the elbow joint.

Nerve injuries

Multiple nerves traverse through the elbow to the forearm and hand, and nerve injuries can occur from traction and compression due to forceful, repetitive stresses on the elbow joint.

Bursitis

This is a condition where the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac near the elbow joint, becomes inflamed and swollen. It can occur due to repetitive pressure or a direct blow to the elbow. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and restricted range of motion.

Elbow fractures (Olecranon)

Falls are the primary causes of upper extremity fractures, including elbow fractures, leading to stiffness, weakness, and ongoing pain.
