Elbow pain and wrist pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. Here are some common causes

1. Overuse: Prolonged repetitive hand activities, such as prolonged computer use, typing, cell phone use, heavy work, or sports, may cause elbow and wrist pain. This pain is called overuse syndrome or synovitis.

2. Muscle or tendon injury: The muscles and tendons around the elbow and wrist can be injured from overuse, trauma, or incorrect posture. This can lead to muscle strain, tendonitis, or tendinitis.

3. Elbow Arthritis: Elbow arthritis is a chronic disease that usually occurs with age. It causes the cartilage in the elbow joint to wear down and deteriorate, causing pain and stiffness.

4. Carpal tunnel syndrome: Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the central nerve (median nerve to be precise) in the wrist. This may be caused by prolonged hand use, such as prolonged use of a keyboard, mouse, or other hand activities.

5. Arthritis: In addition to elbow arthritis, other forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout, can also cause elbow and wrist pain.
