Pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow caused by overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons. Common in sports, repetitive lifting, and desk-based activities.

Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

Irritation of the tendons on the inner side of the elbow, often linked to repetitive gripping, wrist flexion, or throwing movements. May cause weakness and discomfort during daily activities.

Tendon irritation and overuse injuries

Repetitive movements and excessive strain can lead to inflammation and irritation of the elbow tendons. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and reduced arm function.

Elbow arthritis

Wear and tear or joint inflammation within the elbow can result in pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Symptoms often worsen with activity and prolonged use.

Repetitive strain injuries

Repeated arm and wrist movements can place ongoing stress on the elbow joint and surrounding muscles. Common in office workers, tradespeople, and athletes.

Olecranon Bursitis

Inflammation of the fluid-filled sac at the tip of the elbow, causing swelling, tenderness, and discomfort. It may develop due to pressure, injury, or prolonged leaning on the elbow.
