Elbow pain: The MRI may show nothing. Elbow pain without a fracture, torn tendon, torn ligament, muscle injury may show nothing. She your doctor for an evaluation.

Maybe: If you have severe or persistent elbow pain, you should have it evaluated by your Physician, or ask your Doctor for a referral to a specialist. Elbow pain can be due to many causes, including arthritis, synovitis, tendonitis, bone injury, nerve damage and more. Your evaluating Doctor will decide if more information can be obtained with an MRI study.
