COMMON CAUSES OF ELBOW PAIN AND INJURY: ✓ TENDONITIS Tendonitis is inflammation of the tendons, caused by overuse (repetitive motion) or sudden injury. Symptoms include pain in the tendon area, swelling, and loss of motion. ✓ BURSITIS Bursitis is painful inflammation of the bursae, the fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles. Pain may be accompanied by swelling, tenderness or loss of movement. ✓ TENNIS ELBOW (LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS) Tennis elbow is caused by the overuse of the forearm. Symptoms include pain on the outside of the elbow that may also be present in the forearm and wrist, which worsens with activity (such as shaking hands, lifting objects, and opening jars). Although this is common in tennis players, anyone who performs repetitive arm and wrist motions may develop tennis elbow, or tendinopathy. ✓ GOLFER’S ELBOW (MEDIAL EPICONDYLITIS) Similar to tennis elbow, it is caused by overusing the forearm muscles through repetitive gripping, swinging (such as in golf), or flexing, which causes damage to the tendons (tendonitis) near the elbow. Pain from golfer’s elbow generally occurs on the inside of the elbow and down into the forearm. ✓ LITTLE LEAGUE ELBOW (PITCHER’S ELBOW) lesions in the medial aspect of the elbow in preadolescent and adolescent baseball pitchers. Most commonly seen in children under the age of 10. ✓ CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Cubital tunnel syndrome, also known as ulnar neuropathy, is the compression or irritation of the ulnar nerve, which runs through the groove along the medial side of the elbow (in the area commonly referred to as the funny bone). Cubital tunnel symptoms include pain, numbness, and muscle weakness. ✓ OSTEOCHONDRITIS DISSECANS occurs when a small segment of bone begins to separate from its surrounding region due to a lack of blood supply. ✓ FRACTURES A fracture is a break in a bone. Broken bone symptoms include pain (intensified when the area is moved or pressure is applied), swelling, bruising, and loss of function. ✓ ARTHRITIS Arthritis, or osteoarthritis, is loss of cartilage within a joint. While there are many other types of arthritis, including rheumatoid, psoriatic, septic, post-traumatic, and lupus, wear and tear osteoarthritis remains by far the most common. Arthritis symptoms can include swelling, tenderness, sharp pain, stiffness, and sometimes fever and chills. ✓ BONE SPURS Bone spurs (also known as osteophytes) are bony projections that develop on the surface of the bone, and are often the result of osteoarthritis. Corns or calluses may also build up over time to provide padding in the area of the bone spur. ✓ DISLOCATION Elbow joint dislocation occurs when radius and ulna move out of alignment with the humerus. This is generally the result of trauma. Elbow dislocation is accompanied by swelling, pain, and inability to bend the arm at the elbow. ✓ RUPTURED BICEPS TENDON A biceps tendon rupture often occur after a sudden contraction of the biceps with resistance to flexion of the elbow and supination of the forearm. #seekphysio #PhysiotherapyAtHome #physiotherapyclinic SUNSHINE ® SUPER SPECIALITY PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC - #DrParthiban #Sunshinephysioclinic.in #Physiotherapyclinicintambaram DR.M.P.
