5. Arthritis
Arthritis is a common cause of many different types of joint pain, with elbow pain being a common focal point.
Arthritis has a number of different causes depending on the type of arthritis you are suffering from. For instance, some forms of arthritis are caused by the body’s own immune system turning on it. In this case, you might find that you experience inflammation as this is a reaction caused by the immune system to try and drive out infection and aid recovery.
Other forms of arthritis are caused by wear and tear over time. Arthritis can have a large number of different causes but can be cripplingly painful in many cases. You may feel the pain in just one joint or might feel it across multiple joints.
It’s also worth noting that while arthritis is more common in the elderly, it can actually affect people of any age.
Some other conditions are related to arthritis include the likes of fibromyalgia which causes joint pain, inflammation, tiredness, and depression.
