Golfer's elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain and inflammation on the inner side of the elbow, where the tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the bony bump (medial epicondyle) on the inside of the elbow.
This condition is commonly caused by repetitive gripping, throwing, or lifting activities that strain the forearm muscles and tendons.
Symptoms of golfer's elbow can include pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow, stiffness or weakness in the wrist or forearm, and difficulty gripping or holding objects.
Treatment options for golfer's elbow may include rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery.
Prevention measures such as using proper equipment, warming up before physical activity, and avoiding overuse or repetitive strain can also help reduce the risk of developing golfer's elbow.
