The elbow is a complex joint that extends, flexes and rotates. Many people experience pain from work or normal daily activities. Pain can occur on the front, back, and either side of the elbow and can vary anywhere from a tingling to sharp pain. It’s important that your doctor evaluate areas above and below the elbow to find the cause of the pain. https://www.worksiteright.com/post/causes-of-and-remedies-for-elbow-pain
