Elbow Pain

Based on your answers, common causes of your joint pain include

• ulnar neuropathy (numbness and/or tingling raises the possibility of ulnar neuropathy or other nerve problem)

• crystal-induced arthritis such as gout or pseudogout

• bursitis

• spondyloarthropathy (such as psoriatic arthritis or Reiter's syndrome)

• infection (always a possibility when pain is significant especially if swelling is prominent).

One or more of these conditions may be present at the same time.
