Understanding Elbow, Wrist & Hand Pain:
Why it Happens and Why it keeps Coming Back
Recurring pain in the elbow, wrist, or hand is often linked to repetitive strain, poor movement patterns, overuse, or incomplete recovery from previous injuries. Everyday activities like typing, lifting, gripping, or sports training can place repeated stress on these joints and soft tissues. When the underlying weakness, mobility issues, or irritation isn’t fully resolved, symptoms can return and even worsen over time.
Common causes of elbow, wrist and hand pain include:
-
Overuse and repetitive movements
-
Desk work and computer strain
-
Lifting heavy objects
-
Incorrect wrist or elbow biomechanics
-
Poor posture affecting arm mechanics
-
Tendon overload
-
Nerve compression (median, ulnar, radial)
-
Sports that require gripping (tennis, golf, pickleball, climbing)
-
Impact or sudden trauma
-
Arthritis or joint degeneration
