Inflammation of the tendons of the elbow.<\/p>\n

\n

An overuse injury, most commonly caused by the repetitive force placed on the tendon that attaches to the inside part of the elbow joint during a golf swing. The part of the elbow joint involved in golfer’s elbow is called the medial epicondyle, and the medical term for golfer’s elbow is medial epicondylitis.<\/p>\n

\n

A term applied to a condition comparable to tennis elbow. It is not uncommon in the left elbow of right-handed golfers who catch the head of their club in the ground when making a duff shot.<\/p>\n

\n

Tendonitis occurring at the medial epicondyle. This injury is commonly seen as a result of overuse of the elbow.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

This condition is the result of excessive use of the forearm muscles responsible for bending the wrist and fingers, often occurring due to activities like using a screwdriver or playing golf with an improper grip. The injury leads to inflammation of the epicondyle (a bony prominence) on the inner part of the elbow, where the affected muscles attach. Common symptoms include pain and tenderness in the elbow and occasionally in the forearm as well.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The treatment involves resting the elbow, applying ice-packs, and taking analgesic drugs (painkillers). In cases of severe or persistent pain, relief can be achieved through local injections of corticosteroid drugs.<\/p>\n
