A member asked:
What is the difference between tendonitis or osteoarthritis of the elbow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elbow pain: Tendinitis is pain which arises from tendons, while arthritis pain arises from the joint surfaces. Usually in arthritis, there is some measurable loss of range of motion. X-rays are helpful at differentiating the two.
