Tennis elbow is an extremely common injury that originally got its name because it is a frequent tennis injury, appearing in a large proportion of tennis players. Nevertheless it commonly manifests in a vast proportion of people who do not play tennis at all.

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 of nerves, blood vessels and ligaments can lead to elbow pain.

Physical pain can be caused by many things, including structural problems of the body, muscle strains, torn ligaments, cuts, abrasions, menstrual cramps, malfunctioning organs, infections, inflammation, swelling, emotional stress, etc. When you feel pain, it’s a good indicator that something is amiss in your body or soul.

Some pains are temporary, like the monthly cramps that can accompany menstruation or when you cut a finger. And some pains can indicate that something is seriously malfunctioning in the body, in which case you should seek professional advice.

The possible causes of wrist pain are wrist injury, wrist strain, wrist sprain or wrist fracture. Other causes are Colles fracture (common fracture of the forearm near the wrist) and Scaphoid fracture (fracture of a small wrist bone).

A sudden event or an acute injury can break a bone or tear a ligament. Less apparent, but more slowly developing insidious causes of wrist pain are repeated patterns of activity, which over time may cause undue strain on the wrist.

Ankle pain is a common complaint with many causes.  It is often due to an ankle sprain. A sprain is an injury to the ligaments that connect bones to one another. In most cases, the ankle is twisted inward and there are tiny tears in the ligaments.

A sprain occurs when the ligaments of a join–the sinews that connect two bones together–are pulled too far and are partially or fully torn. Ankles are one of the most commonly sprained joints.
