Elbow Injuries and Disorders

Most elbow pain due to injuries and disorders area result of over overuse from repetitive hand, wrist or arm movements in sports, hobbies and jobs. Your elbow joint is much less prone to wear-and-tear damage than are many other joints, but  may occasionally be due to arthritis.
