Elbow pain can be caused by overuse, injury, or medical conditions. Common causes include tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow) and golfer’s elbow (pain on the inside), both from repetitive motion. Tendonitis and bursitis involve inflammation of the tendons or fluid sacs around the elbow. Sprains or strains from sudden injury and arthritis (like osteoarthritis) can also cause pain and stiffness. Sometimes, pain can come from other areas, like the neck or shoulder. Proper diagnosis and rest are important for recovery.
