Elbow
Most elbow pain isn't serious, but because you use your elbow in so many ways, elbow pain can definitely affect your life. Most elbow pain improves with simple home treatments, however. If your elbow pain results from certain types of injuries, your doctor may recommend physical or occupational therapy to aid healing and help prevent future problems.

Your elbow is a complex joint formed by three long bones in your arm. Four sets of muscles help move the joint and are attached to the bones by thick tendons. Damage to any of these structures or to the joints network of nerves, blood vessels and ligaments can lead to elbow pain.
