What It Feels Like
Elbow pain can show up as a sharp twinge while lifting, gripping, or twisting your arm, or as a dull ache that lingers through the day.
It often affects your ability to carry, type, or even enjoy sports. If it’s making simple tasks uncomfortable, it’s time to address it.
Common Symptoms
- Pain or tenderness around the outer or inner elbow.
- Discomfort while gripping, lifting, or twisting the wrist.
- Stiffness or weakness in the forearm.
- Swelling or warmth around the joint.
- Pain that worsens with repetitive hand movements.
What Causes It
Tennis elbow from repetitive wrist or forearm strain
Poor posture or shoulder weakness transferring stress to the elbow
Repetitive motion from typing, sports, or manual work
Golfer’s elbow due to overuse of the inner forearm muscles
Sudden strain or heavy lifting causing tendon irritation
Nerve compression or referred pain from the neck or shoulder
