What is Golfer’s Elbow?
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) is an inflammatory condition of the inner side of the elbow, where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of your elbow. The pain may spread into the forearm and wrist.
The condition is called Golfer’s Elbow because in making a golf swing this tendon is stressed; many people, however, who develop the condition have never handled a golf club. A similar condition, tennis elbow – lateral epicondylitis, affects the outer part of the elbow.
Symptoms of golfer’s elbow:
- Pain and tenderness. Usually felt on the inner side of your elbow, the pain sometimes extends along the inner side of your forearm. Pain typically worsens with certain movements.
- Stiffness. Your elbow may feel stiff, and making a fist might hurt.
- Weakness. You may have weakness in your hands and wrists.
- Numbness or tingling. These sensations might radiate into one or more fingers – usually the ring and little fingers.
