Tennis elbow? Golf elbow? Sore from something elbow? Your elbows are made up of bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles all working together to help you with your everyday activities. Unless you suffer from elbow pain, you may not give much thought to that area of your arm and everything it does for you.

 Why Is My Elbow So Sore?

The elbow allows your arm to hinge so you can do a biceps curl, take a bite of pasta, or even get dressed in the morning.  Although elbow pain is commonly known as tennis elbow\ not only tennis players suffer. Golfers, baseball players, bowlers, painters or anyone who is using recurring arm and elbow movements are at risk of developing lateral epicondylitis. These repetitive movements eventually cause the tendons connecting the elbow bones to wear down and become inflamed, leading to tendonitis. Other elbow injuries, such as a fracture or dislocation, can leave you with long lasting elbow pain. A fracture occurs when one of the elbow bones actually breaks, while a dislocation is a bone getting knocked out of place.
