Overview
What is golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)?
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) is an irritation of the tendon insertions on the inside of the elbow. As with tennis elbow, it usually develops due to repetitive strain on the hand and forearm – not only in golf, but also in everyday life and at work.
Typical symptoms
Pain on the inside of the elbow, worse when bending the wrist, gripping, and lifting. Sometimes the pain radiates into the forearm.
Possible causes
Repetitive flexion and gripping loads of the hand and forearm, overuse of the tendons, and low load capacity of the muscles involved.
