Sprain
A sprain is a stretched or torn ligament. Ligaments are tissues that connect bones at a joint. Falling, twisting, or getting hit can all cause a sprain. Ankle and wrist sprains are common. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising and being unable to move your joint. You might feel a pop or tear when the injury happens. A strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscle to bone. Twisting or pulling these tissues can cause a strain. Strains can happen suddenly or develop over time. Back and hamstring muscle strains are common. Many people get strains playing sports. Symptoms include pain, muscle spasms, swelling and trouble moving the muscle. At first, treatment of both sprains and strains usually involves resting the injured area, icing it, wearing a bandage or device that compresses the area, and medicines. Later treatment might include exercise and physical therapy. NIH: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases

Ankle sprain
An ankle sprain is a common injury to the ankle. The most common way the ankle is injured is when the ankle is twisted inward (inversion injury). With this injury, ligaments that support the ankle can be torn which lead to swelling, inflammation, and bruising around the ankle. An ankle sprain injury may take a few weeks to many months to fully heal.

The most common way the ankle can be injured is by an ankle sprain. When an ankle is sprained ligaments on the ankle are either stretched, partially torn or completely torn. The most common type of sprain is an inversion injury, where the foot is rotated inward.

Ankle sprains can range from mild, to moderate, and severe. Type 1 ankle sprain is a mild sprain. It occurs when the ligaments have been stretched or torn minimally.

Type II ankle sprain is a moderate level of sprain. It occurs when some of the fibers of the ligaments are torn completely.
Type III ankle sprain is the most severe ankle sprain. It occurs when the entire ligament is torn and there is great instability of the ankle joint.
Minor injuries like sprains may be treated at home if broken bones are not suspected. The acronym RICE is helpful in remembering how to treat minor injuries:
"R" stands for rest, "I" is for ice, "C" is for compression, "E" is for elevation
Pain and swelling should decrease within 48 hours, and gentle movement may be beneficial, but pressure should not be put on a sprained joint until pain is completely gone (one to several weeks). http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/

Lateral epicondylitis
Epitrochlear bursitis Tennis elbow
Lateral epicondylitis
inflammation, soreness, or pain on the outside (lateral) side of the upper arm near the elbow. There may be a partial tear of the tendon fibers, which connect muscle to bone. The tear may be at or near where these fibers begin, on the outside of the elbow.
This condition may also be due to constant computer keyboard and mouse use
Sports Participants
Sports participants, especially racquet sport players, are prone to developing tennis elbow. About a third of amateur tennis players experience tennis elbow at some point in their careers. In addition to racquet sports, tennis elbow is seen in golfers, fencers, and other sports participants.
Symptoms
Elbow pain that gradually worsens Pain radiating from the outside of the elbow to the forearm and back of the hand when grasping or twisting Weak grasp Pain over the outside of the elbow Pain when lifting objects Pain radiating down the forearm
Dx
diagnosis is made based on signs and symptoms, because x-rays are usually normal. Often there will be pain or tenderness when the tendon is gently pressed near where it attaches to the upper arm bone, over the outside of the elbow. pain near the elbow when the wrist is extended (bent backwards, like revving a motorcycle engine) against resistance. X-rays are rarely needed.
Treatment
Rest arm avoid the activity that causes symptoms for at least 2 3 weeks. Put ice on the outside of elbow 2 - 3 times a day. NSAIDs ( ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin).
occupational therapist
can show exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles of forearm.
cortisone injection If the pain continues after 6 - 12 months of rest and treatment - surgery may be recommended
Surgical tx
debridement of the diseased tissue of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) muscle with decortication of the lateral epicondyle.
performed through open, percutaneous, and arthroscopic approaches.

Expectations (prognosis)
Most people improve with nonsurgical treatment. The majority of those who do have surgery show an improvement in symptoms.
Complications
Failure to improve with nonsurgical or surgical treatment. This may be due to nerve entrapment in the forearm Recurrence of the injury with overuse Rupture of the tendon with repeated steroid injections
Prevention
Apply an ice pack to the outside of the elbow Maintain good strength and flexibility in the arm muscles and avoid repetitive motions Rest the elbow when bending and straightening are painful

Overuse syndrome
is a condition where a part of the body is injured by repeatedly overusing or exerting to much strain on that body part. The term overuse syndrome identifies a large group of conditions that result from using the body in a repetitious way and causing injury by the amount it is done. These conditions are often focused on a joint and usually affect the muscle, bone, tendon or bursa of the joint. However other anatomical features and areas can be stressed and their response to that strain can be an injury.

Bursitis
A bursa is a fluid filled sac. They are located around joints and reduce friction and ease movement as tendons or muscles pass over bones or skin.
