What are some specific types of severe and non-severe elbow problems?
A very common type of elbow injury is tendonitis, which is a direct result of overuse of the arms from things like tennis, golf, playing too much Wii, or even something like doing household chores that cause the elbow’s tendons to swell up. There is also something called ulnar nerve entrapment – which is when the ulnar nerve, or “funny bone,” is pinched and is causing a great deal of discomfort, numbness or tingling in the elbow, forearm and hand. More serious elbow injuries are things like fractures (which are broken bones) and sprains (which are torn or stretched ligaments). People may also suffer from certain other diseases and conditions that can cause elbow pain. These would include things like arthritis and various types of bacterial infections of the elbow. What are the symptoms of those elbow problems? Tendonitis can cause some swelling in the elbow area and also give it a “warm” feeling. The elbow will also be tender to the touch in the area where the injured ligament is. Rang
