Why does it hurt on the outside of my elbow?
Lateral elbow pain (tennis elbow) is a common cause of pain on the outside of the elbow, usually the result of relative overuse without adequate rest.
Why does it hurt on the inside of my elbow?
Medial elbow pain (golfer’s elbow) is a common cause of pain on the inside of the elbow, usually the result of relative overuse without adequate rest.
I felt a “pop” in my elbow and now I have a “popeye” muscle!
Bicep tendon tears at the elbow may result in a cosmetic “popeye” deformity, as well as pain and weakness. There is usually a short period of time during which they are repairable.

Treatment Options

The elbow is a hinge joint, but often dysfunction in other parts of the limb show up as trouble with the elbow – conditions like medial and lateral epicondylitis (golfer’s and tennis elbow) are often clues to problems elsewhere. Other problems include trauma (elbow fracture or dislocation), arthritis, overuse injuries, cysts, growths, and bursitis.

The elbow has a unique tendency to develop stiffness after an injury. Careful rehabilitation is critical to achieve the best outcome. When problems do arise, the orthopedic surgeons at Edmonds Orthopedic Center are prepared with the latest advances in arthroscopic techniques, open elbow surgery, and elbow replacement to help you on your road to recovery.
