Common Causes of Elbow Pain

The elbow is one of the most frequently used joints in the body, making it especially vulnerable to overuse and repetitive strain. Common causes of elbow pain include:

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) — tendon irritation from repetitive arm movements
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) — a similar overuse injury affecting the inner side
Sprains and ligament injuries
Bursitis and joint inflammation
Arthritis affecting the elbow joint

Common Causes of Hand Pain

The hand is a complex structure made up of tendons, joints, and nerves that work closely together. Pain can develop from repetitive use, trauma, or nerve involvement. Common causes include:

Trigger finger — inflammation of the tendon sheath causing stiffness, pain, and a catching or locking sensation
Nerve compression or entrapment
Sprains and soft tissue injuries
Arthritis causing joint pain and stiffness
Repetitive gripping or clenching that strains tendons over time

Common Causes of Wrist Pain

Wrist pain is often related to nerve compression or repetitive strain. One of the most common conditions we see is carpal tunnel syndrome, where the carpal tunnel narrows and places pressure on the median nerve. This can cause tingling, numbness, or pain in the wrist, thumb, fingers, and even the forearm.

Other common causes of wrist pain include:

Nerve compression in the wrist or originating from the cervical spine
Sprains and strains from injury or overuse
Arthritis and joint inflammation
Repetitive motion strain from work or daily activities
