golfer's elbow
Golfer's elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain and inflammation on the inner side of the elbow. It occurs when the tendons that attach to the medial epicondyle, a bony bump on the inside of the elbow, become irritated due to repetitive motions or overuse. This condition is not limited to golfers; it can affect anyone who performs activities that involve gripping or swinging.
Symptoms of golfer's elbow include pain and tenderness on the inner elbow, stiffness, and weakness in the hands and wrists. Treatment often involves rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications. In some cases, physical therapy or corticosteroid injections may be recommended to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
