What Is Golfer Elbow?

Golfer elbow is tendinosis of the medial epicondyle of the elbow.  It is known to cause inflammation in the tendons connecting the forearm and the elbow.

The pain associated with golfer elbow originates in the elbow but may spread to the forearm.

Commonly caused by the overuse of muscles, golfer’s elbow occurs because repetitive use of the arm may cause pulls or tiny tears in the tendon.

Although it is similar to tennis elbow in the sense that both are forms of elbow tendinitis, Golfer’s elbow differs in the location of the initial damage.

While tennis elbow is caused from damage to the tendons outside the elbow, golfer elbow is caused by damaged to the tendons inside the elbow.

Usually, no treatment except proper rest is required. However, if the pain persists, drugs can be sought.
