Elbow pain is a common problem that can make everyday tasks like lifting, gripping, or typing uncomfortable. The elbow is a joint where three bones meet, held together by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Pain can come from any of these parts. It may build up slowly from overuse or start suddenly after an injury.
Signs may include aching, soreness, stiffness, swelling, or a weak grip. Some people feel pain on the outer elbow, often called tennis elbow, while others feel it on the inner side, sometimes called golfer’s elbow. Common causes include repeated motions, overuse from sports or work, tendon strain, arthritis, and injury. Activities that involve gripping and twisting can make symptoms worse over time.
