What is Elbow Tendonitis?
Elbow Tendonitis refers to the inflammation of the tendons in the elbow, leading to acute pain, swelling, and stiffness. This condition typically results from repetitive stress or injury to the elbow and can significantly impact your ability to perform daily activities.
What Causes Elbow Tendonitis?
The most common cause of elbow tendonitis is overuse or repetitive motion involving the elbow joint. This puts excessive strain on the tendons, eventually causing irritation and inflammation.
People more prone to developing elbow tendonitis include:
- Athletes (especially tennis, golf, or throwing sports)
- Manual laborers (e.g., painters, mechanics, butchers)
- Musicians
- Individuals with poor posture or repetitive lifting habits
