How is your elbow, in numbers?
The PREE — Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation — is a validated 20-question score of elbow pain and function. You'll describe your average elbow symptoms over the past week on 0–10 scales. Your result is calculated instantly and never leaves your browser — print it or bring the numbers to your appointment, and repeat it over time to track how your elbow is travelling.
Please answer all questions. If you did not perform an activity in the past week, estimate the pain or difficulty you would expect. If you have never performed the activity, you may leave it blank.

Scores run from 0 (no pain or difficulty) to 100 (the worst), with pain and function weighted equally. There is no single cut-off that means treatment is needed, and no established threshold for what counts as a meaningful change on this particular score — so the most useful way to read it is as a trend: repeat it every few weeks, during treatment or recovery, and watch which way the number moves.
If elbow pain or function is limiting work, sport or daily life, the right first step is your GP, who can examine you, arrange imaging where needed, and refer on if specialist review is warranted. Bring this score with you.
This questionnaire is an educational self-assessment, not a diagnosis, and does not replace a clinical assessment. Nothing you enter is transmitted or stored — the score is calculated on your device.
