The location of elbow pain can help guide tissue involvement. Pain on the outside of the elbow is often associated with tendon irritation commonly known as tennis elbow.
Pain on the inside of the elbow may relate to golfer’s elbow, irritation of the forearm tendons that attach to the inner elbow.
Some people also feel pain through the front of the elbow, forearm, wrist or hand when lifting.
Outer elbow pain is one of the most common elbow complaints seen in physiotherapy clinics. For some people, the pain develops gradually over several weeks. Others notice symptoms after increasing gym training, starting a new hobby, returning to sport, or spending long hours performing repetitive tasks.
If you have pain around the base of your thumb, you may have come across terms such as thumb arthritis (CMC arthritis) and De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.
One of the most common questions we hear at Sydney Physio Clinic after a wrist fracture is: “The fracture has healed, so why does my wrist still feel stiff?”
Push ups are one of the most common bodyweight exercises, but they can also be one of the most frustrating when wrist pain develops.
If you have pain on the little finger side of your wrist, simple activities can quickly become frustrating. Lifting weights, opening doors, carrying shopping bags, pushing yourself up from a chair, or even turning a key can suddenly become uncomfortable.
Typing is something many people do for hours every day without giving it much thought. However, when wrist pain develops, even simple work tasks can become frustrating. Some people notice discomfort after a long day at the computer, while others experience symptoms within minutes of starting work.
If you have wrist pain when typing, you are not alone. It is one of the most common wrist complaints seen among office workers.
