Elbow Pain

Dennis Minotti, DO

The most common injuries to the elbow are from repetitive motion. When the tendon that attaches the muscle to the bone becomes damaged, it can become very tender and might even develop micro-tears. And because there is poor blood supply to this area, healing can take a long time.

Over-use of the tendon can happen any time you use your arm a lot - as in gardening, painting, working on the computer or lifting and carrying things. But the two most frequent complaints are due to "tennis elbow" or "golfer's elbow."
