Is elbow or wrist pain making life difficult?
We use our arms for most activities, so pain or weakness in these areas can be particularly debilitating.
Elbow pain
Elbow pain often presents as an aching, burning or sharp pain on the inside or outside of your elbow. The area might be tender to the touch and the pain can radiate down your forearm to your wrist and hand.
The pain may intensify if you’re gripping, lifting or using a computer. And it will be especially painful to do exercises or sports that involve using your arm.
Wrist pain
Wrist pain can range from aching and stiffness to stabbing, burning, and throbbing pain. The pain may increase if you’re using your wrist to grip, twist, bear weight or use a computer.
Some conditions may cause weakness or numbness in your wrist and hand, which can make everyday tasks more difficult, or even dangerous.
