Arm
Elbow and forearm pain usually comes from load: too much, too soon, or the same movement too often. Treatment is rarely about rest alone, because tendons need the right kind of loading to recover properly.

This page is general information, not a diagnosis. Symptoms overlap between conditions, so the right treatment depends on an assessment. If your pain followed a significant injury, is getting worse, or comes with numbness, weakness or unexplained weight loss, please see your GP.
