What is Golfer’s Elbow?
Also know as medial epicondylitis. This condition does not just affect golfers. Any activity that requires repetitive movements of the wrist will place excessive stress on the muscle and tendon resulting in tendonitis and possible scar tissue formation. The pain usually begins on the inside of the elbow (at the bump called the medial epicondyle), and may spread down the forearm, resulting in weakness into the hand.
Symptoms of a Golfer’s Elbow
- Pain in or around the elbow joint
- Stiffness/pain with movement
- Weakness in hand or wrist
- Tingling or numbness in forearm and/or fingers
- Limited movement of the elbow
Causes of Golfer’s Elbow
- Wear and tear
- Overuse in a repetitive motion
- Lifting something heavy
- Poor swing technique
- Shoulder impingement
- Other injury
