Common Causes & Symptoms of Elbow Pain & Dysfunction

Elbows are often injured as a result of acute trauma or chronic repetitive stress, as can happen during athletics, slip and fall events, car accidents, and work incidents. A few common diagnoses we see in Omaha include:

• Elbow dislocations and fractures: joint misalignments and bone fractures (of the humerus, ulna, or radius) often occur due to direct trauma, such as falling on the elbow or impact during a car accident
• Elbow bursitis: fluid filled sacs called bursa are located throughout your body between tendons and bones to reduce friction; if abnormal pressure affects these bursa, they can become inflamed and irritated
• Cubital tunnel syndrome: this condition is caused by compression of the ulnar nerve at your elbow; additional symptoms may include numbness and tingling in the hand
• Medial or lateral epicondylitis: known as golfer's elbow or tennis elbow respectively, these conditions can be caused by repetitive motion or overuse; muscle strains and ligamet sprains are also a common consequence
• Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout: inflammatory joint conditions or degenerative wear and tear can make the elbow painful and difficult to move

The above conditions can present with a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness, swelling, redness, stiffness, and difficulty with grasping, lifting, or turning objects.
