Understanding Golfer’s Elbow
What is Golfer’s Elbow?
Golfer’s Elbow, medically 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 on the elbow. This condition is typically caused by overuse or repetitive stress on the tendons in the forearm, often seen in golfers but also common in individuals performing repetitive hand or wrist movements, such as in tennis, carpentry, or typing.
Common Causes
- Repetitive Motion: Activities that involve repeated wrist flexion or gripping, such as golfing, throwing, or manual labor, can lead to overuse of the forearm muscles, causing stress on the tendons.
- Improper Technique: Using incorrect form while playing sports, lifting objects, or even typing can put additional strain on the tendons.
- Overuse: Consistent overuse of the forearm muscles, especially without proper rest, can weaken the tendons and cause Golfer’s Elbow.
- Occupational Strain: Jobs that require repetitive use of the hands and wrists, like construction or assembly line work, can increase the risk of developing Golfer’s Elbow.
Recognizing the Symptoms
- Elbow Pain: Pain or tenderness on the inner side of the elbow, which may radiate down the forearm.
- Weak Grip: Difficulty gripping objects or performing tasks like shaking hands or holding a racket.
- Stiffness: Stiffness in the elbow, especially in the morning or after periods of rest.
- Pain with Activity: Increased discomfort when performing activities involving the wrist or hand, such as lifting, throwing, or typing.
- Tingling or Numbness: In some cases, tingling or numbness may be felt in the ring and little fingers due to irritation of the nearby nerves.
