Do you recognize this?
Pain in the upper or lower arm during movement
Tingling or loss of strength in your arm or hand
Pain on the outside of the elbow (tennis elbow)
Pain on the inside of the elbow (golfer's elbow)
RSI complaints from repetitive movements or computer work
Pain when lifting, turning, or gripping
Possible causes
Arm complaints can range from tendonitis to nerve entrapment. A good diagnosis is the key to effective treatment.
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Overloading of the wrist and finger extensor muscles causes pain on the outside of the elbow. Despite the name, this occurs not only in tennis players but also in computer users and manual workers.
Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)
Similar to tennis elbow, but on the inside. The wrist and finger flexor muscles become overloaded, causing pain when gripping and turning.
RSI / CANS
Repetitive Strain Injury (or CANS) is caused by prolonged repetitive movements, often related to computer work. It causes pain, stiffness, and fatigue in the arm, wrist, and hand.
Trapped nerve
A nerve can become trapped in the neck, shoulder, or elbow. This causes radiating pain, tingling, or numbness in the arm or hand.
Overuse
A sudden increase in activity, unusual movements, or intensive sports can overload muscles and tendons in the arm. This leads to pain and reduced function.
