Tennis elbow
Inflammation of the tendon on the outside of the elbow due to repetitive flexing and bending of the wrist; causes burning pain and weak grip strength.

Golfer's elbow
Similar to Tennis elbow, Golfer's elbow causes pain on the inside of the elbow. You might also experience pain in the forearm and wrist. 

Rotator cuff strain
Inflammation of the muscles and tendons of the front or back of the shoulder; often an overuse injury from work or in sports with repetitive overhead arm movements. 

Subluxation of the shoulder 
Also known as shoulder instability, this overuse injury is caused by repeated stretching and tearing of the shoulder ligaments, which results in looseness and allows the top of the arm bone to slip out of place (although it is not a full shoulder dislocation).

Fractures or breaks can occur in just about any bone. Usually there will be significant pain and the affected limb may look misaligned.

Broken bones are treated as a medical emergency and require a visit to the Emergency Department for X-rays, diagnosis, and immobilization, with follow-up care by an orthopaedist.

Minor breaks which do not break the skin can be treated at Urgent Care.
