- Elbow Bursitis – Swelling of the bursa sac, causing pain and stiffness.
- Osteoarthritis – Degeneration of joint cartilage, leading to pain and limited motion.
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the ulnar nerve, causing numbness and weakness.
- Radial Tunnel Syndrome – Nerve compression leading to aching pain in the forearm and elbow.
- Elbow Sprains and Strains – Injuries to ligaments or muscles from overuse or trauma.
