What Causes Elbow Pain?

Your elbow joint is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, all of which can be susceptible to injury and inflammation. Some of the most common causes of elbow pain include:

• Tendonitis: This is the inflammation of the tendons that connect your muscles to your bones. Overuse from repetitive motions is a frequent cause, leading to conditions like:
  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outside of the elbow.
  • Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Pain on the inside of the elbow.
• Bursitis: The small, fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion your elbow joint can become inflamed, causing pain and swelling.
• Arthritis: Both osteoarthritis (wear and tear) and rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune condition) can affect the elbow joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and a reduced range of motion.
• Nerve Compression: The nerves that pass through your elbow can become pinched or irritated, resulting in pain, numbness, and tingling. This is common in conditions like cubital tunnel syndrome.
• Sprains and Strains: An injury can stretch or tear the ligaments (sprain) or muscles (strain) around the elbow.
