An mri shows a probable partial tear in my hand or lower arm. i have been having pain in my upper arm near elbow. what would the cause of this be?

More info helpful: The MRI report or the physician who ordered it should provide more detail. A partial tear of the upper extremity usually involves a tendon. If near your elbow, we think the common extensor (outside) or flexor (inside) tendon or the biceps. Overuse is the most common reason we see partial tears on the medial and lateral sides of the elbow. If I can help , then www.healthtap.com/dr-clarkeholmes

See details: There are numerous possible causes including tendinitis, epicondylitis, muscle teat,etc, etc. Have the elbow area evaluated.

NMS: But it may be from the tear . You should ask your orthopedist to check you again to make sure that there may also be some upper arm involvement with the same injury.
