Golfer s elbow — also called medial epicondylitis — is a painful inflammation on the inner side of your elbow. The primary area where the pain originates is where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of your elbow. In many cases, the pain spreads to the forearm and wrist.
Golfer s elbow is very similar to tennis elbow but it occurs on the inside — rather than the outside — of the elbow. Another similarity to tennis elbow is that both afflictions are named after their associated sport. Even still, anyone can get golfers elbow, including tennis players and others who repeatedly use their wrists or clench their fingers.
What are the symptoms of golfer’s elbow?
Symptoms of golfer s elbow often include muscular or tendon pain at the medial epicondyle (bony bump) of the elbow. Most sufferers will experience a sharp pain at this bony point whenever they grab an object, or when the hand is bent in a palm upward position. Pain is most often experienced on the inside of the upper forearm, but can also be experienced anywhere from the elbow joint to the wrist. Weakness and soreness that radiates can occur as well as a restriction of movement and inflammation. Although some people feel tingling and/or numbness with golfer s elbow, this is often not a good sign. Usually numbness or tingling means the ulnar nerve that passes right next to the medial epicondyle is compressed or injured. If that is the case, prompt medical attention may be necessary.
