PATIENT PORTAL Elbow Pain
Your elbow is surprisingly prone to injury. A complex hinge joint, the elbow is where three bones come together in your arm: the humerus (upper arm), radius, and ulna (together they make up the forearm).
You do not have to be particularly active to injure the elbow. Simple repetitive household chores or work-related tasks can lead to an overuse injury of the elbow. It is also common to bump your elbow, which can cause an acute traumatic injury but may also lead to the development of post-traumatic arthritis, further increasing pain, inflammation, and function problems.
