Is Pain Around The Wrist, Elbow And Up The Arm Indicative Of Tendonitis?
Question: Hi, I am a lacrosse player at my high school. and ever since the first game we had 2 weeks ago ive had occasional pain wrapping around my wrist and occasionally shooting all the way up near my elbow on the inside of my arm. it hurts the most whenever I push on something hard and I was thinking it might be tendonitis but im not entirely sure if these symptoms are tendonitis or just something else. do these symptoms match tendonitis? thanks
Brief Answer:
Diagnosis: Wrist tenosynovitis

Hello,
The pain you are experiencing is likely to be Tenosynovitis, which is the inflammation of tendons surrounding wrist.
