• Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outside of the elbow, caused by repetitive strain on the tendons. Treatment usually involves physiotherapy exercises and sometimes platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. Surgery is rarely necessary.
• Golfer’s Elbow: Similar to tennis elbow, but pain occurs on the inside of the elbow. Treated similarly to tennis elbow.
• Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Tingling and numbness in the ring and little finger due to a pinched nerve in the elbow. Mild cases can be managed with splinting and steroids; severe cases may require surgery.
• Bursitis: Inflammation of a fluid-filled sac near the elbow joint, often caused by leaning on your elbows. Treatment typically involves resting the elbow and sometimes steroid injections; rarely, surgery might be needed.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease that attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It can affect the elbow and other joints. Treatment includes medication, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy; surgery may be necessary in severe cases.

• Dislocated elbow: Bones in the joint become misaligned, causing pain and limited movement. Requires medical attention for realignment.
• Fractures: Broken bones in the forearm or upper arm can cause pain, swelling, and bruising. Treatment depends on the severity and location of the fracture and may involve casting, splinting, or surgery.
• Sprains, strains, and other soft tissue injuries: Sprains and strains can affect ligaments, tendons, and muscles surrounding the elbow, leading to pain and limited movement. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, and physiotherapy.
