Elbow Pain
Common presentation is pain in the medial aspect of the elbow, exacerbated with activities such as gripping, throwing, and forearm flexion/pronation, worst in the morning, and associated numbness in the distribution of the ulnar nerve in the hand. Obtaining a history of activities and profession is necessary.
Pain to the lateral elbow and forearm has an insidious onset and is associated with activities involving repeated wrist extension. The patient’s hobbies, exercise routine, exercise equipment, sport history, and profession should be explored.
