elbow Pain Q & A's
What are some common causes of elbow pain?
Possible causes of your shoulder pain include:
Tendonitis
Tendonitis, such as tennis elbow or golfers elbow, is inflammation of an elbow tendon caused by overuse of the elbow joint. It’s often described as burning, aching pain that may radiate down the forearm.
Arthritis
Arthritis in the elbow is caused by age-related wear and tear or autoimmune conditions. It’s often accompanied by cracking and popping of the joint.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy, such as ulnar neuropathy, occurs when a nerve running becomes compressed, irritated, or damaged. The ulnar nerve runs from the elbow, down the forearm, and into the wrist and pinky, and pain can be felt at any of these locations. Pain from ulnar neuropathy is often accompanied by numbness and tingling.
treatment options
Steroid Injection
The treatment is an anti-inflammatory injection or nerve block into the joint or tendon. During the injection, a corticosteroid (a powerful anti-inflammatory drug) and a pain numbing agent is injected through a needle, similar to getting a shot.
This procedure is performed in the office and usually takes less than 5 minutes. Relief often lasts from months to years
