Elbow Disorder Basics. If you have elbow pain, a number of disorders could be the culprit. Overuse and sports injuries cause many elbow conditions. For example, golfers, baseball pitchers, tennis players, and boxers often have elbow disorders.Elbow disorders may involve arm muscles, elbow ligaments, tendons, and bones in the arm.igament problems can occur in any of the ligaments located in the elbow joint. Ligament sprains and strains can occur due to trauma or as a result of repeated stress. The ligament may be stretched, partially torn, or completely torn. Sometimes youâll hear a popping noise upon injury.
Sometimes itâs hard to tell if you have a bruise, a sprain, or a complete break (a fracture). Pain, bruising, and swelling around an elbow thatâs hard to bend or twist can be signs of a broken elbow. You may hear or feel a pop or crack in the elbow during the injury. Other signs of serious injury include a crooked appearance to the elbow or arm, bleeding cuts in the skin around the elbow, or numbness/tingling in the hand after the injury that doesnât improve.
