Elbow pain can have a number of causes, including injury, overuse, arthritis, or nerve compression. Some common conditions that can cause elbow pain include tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), bursitis, tendinitis, dislocation, fracture, or nerve entrapment.
The symptoms of elbow pain can vary depending on the underlying cause, but they may include pain, stiffness, weakness, numbness, tingling, or a loss of range of motion in the affected arm. Treatment for elbow pain may involve rest, ice, compression, elevation, physical therapy, medications, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause of the pain.
