Golfers’ elbow

Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is the second most common source of chronic elbow pain (even if you don’t play golf!!). Pain is located on the inner part of the elbow, but may also be experienced all the way down the front of your forearm and wrist.

Golfer's elbow is an acute or chronic inflammation of a group of muscles and tendons that attach to the bone  on the inside of the elbow (medial epicondyle). These muscle pull your wrist and/or fingers forwards (flex) so that any activity involving these muscle can be quite painful.

Continuously overloading these muscles is also a major contributor to finger arthritis, Dupretren's contracture, trigger finger and carpal tunnel syndrome.
