Pain is an opinion. Too harsh? Have I no sympathy? Well, I’m not suggesting people in pain are just looking for sympathy, or that all they need is to change their attitude in order to take up their pallet and walk.

The elbow is such an inconspicuous part of the body that we rarely notice it unless it hurts. Pain at the elbow is most often caused by injuries to the tendons. Sometimes a muscle injury is involved as well, which may cause the pain to extend down the forearm. There are other structures surrounding the elbow that can become strained or inflamed, but tendons and muscles cause the most troublesome problems.
