Elbow Pain Causes

There are several different conditions that can lead to debilitating elbow pain, including:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis, a disease that causes chronic inflammation in joints
  • Osteoarthritis, which can develop when the cartilage in a joint wears away
  • Post-traumatic arthritis, which can result following a fracture or damage to a tendon or ligament
  • Chronic joint instability, which can also result from ligament damage
