Lifting heavyweights frequently in the gym can cause repetitive strain injury. Common causes of injuries which cause elbow pain are tennis elbow, trapped nerve, cubital tunnel syndrome, pronator teres syndrome, posterior interosseous nerve syndrome and a dislocated/fractured elbow. Lateral epicondylitis occurs when the elbow bones tendon swell or tear due to twisting, gripping, or lifting the heavyweight. A trapped nerve, also known as a pinched nerve, may result from the pressure from surrounding tissues in the elbow. Cubital nerve syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes irritated or compressed.
