Tennis elbow, golfer's
elbow, nursemaid's elbow, pitcher's elbow, cell
phone elbow, Wii elbow...whatever you call it, whatever the cause, when
your funny bone's in pain, it's no laughing matter.
For the
most part, elbow pain results from overuse injuries, such as sports or
activities and professions that require repetitive hand, wrist or arm
movements. And while most elbow pain isn't serious, it can definitely
affect your life since you use the joint in so many ways. Early
intervention and treatment is the key to relieving the pain and
preventing future problems.
Dr. Alan Hinton, an orthopedic
surgeon on staff at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, discusses the causes
of elbow pain and possible treatments, including minimally invasive
options.
