Aching elbows holding you back? Whether you're an athlete sidelined by a tenacious twinge, or a daily warrior battling everyday aches, elbow pain can throw a wrench in your life. But fear not, fellow elbow-owners! Today's mission? Understanding common elbow conditions and discovering how Dr. Brace, your orthopedic sport braces companion, can be your ally in reclaiming comfort and control.
The Elbow All-Stars and Their Nefarious Enemies:
Meet the elbows' most frequent foes:
- Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): This repetitive strain villain loves gripping activities, causing tenderness and pain on the outer elbow.
- Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow, but this inner elbow pain prefers swinging sports like golf.
- Elbow Tendinitis: Inflammation in the tendons around the elbow, often affecting athletes and those with repetitive movements.
- Elbow Arthritis: Wear and tear on the elbow joint can lead to pain, stiffness, and swelling.
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Pressure on the ulnar nerve causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and forearm.
