Elbow Pain: What’s the Issue?

Elbow pain can be a real pain in the arm, making simple things like lifting a cuppa or typing a nightmare. Your elbow’s a hardworking joint, with muscles, tendons, and ligaments that let you bend and twist but can get narked if overused or injured.

What Causes Elbow Pain?

Elbow pain can come from all sorts – stuff like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, overuse from repetitive tasks, or even a knock or strain. Things like gripping tools, playing sports, or spending hours on your phone can aggravate it. Poor posture or weak shoulder muscles can also put extra strain on your elbow.
