Despite being known as the “funny bone,” there is nothing funny about elbow pain. Because nerves run through the elbow, injuries to this joint can be especially uncomfortable and disruptive. Elbow pain can impact everything from sports performance to everyday activities, like getting dressed, cooking, or driving.
