Elbow, Wrist and Hand Pain

Causes of Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Pain

Elbow, wrist, and hand pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, overuse, and degenerative conditions. Some of the most common causes of elbow, wrist, and hand pain include:

  • Tennis Elbow - This is a repetitive strain injury that affects the tendons on the outer part of the elbow, often caused by activities such as playing tennis or typing.

  • Golfer's Elbow - This is a similar injury to tennis elbow, but affects the tendons on the inner part of the elbow.

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - This is a compression of the median nerve in the wrist, often resulting in numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.

  • Trigger Finger - This occurs when the tendons in the finger become inflamed, causing the finger to lock or catch when trying to straighten it.
