Golfer’s elbow, also known as epicondylitis, is a kind of tendinitis. Golfing is just one of several sources of this affliction, which could result from any activity resulting in overuse of tendons and the muscles of the forearm. While the painful sensation at the elbow is much like tennis elbow, in the event of golfer’s elbow the inflammation and pain occur at the interior (or medial side) of the joint.
The medial epicondyle is a bony prominence on the inside of the elbow. It’s the point for muscles used to bend down the wrist. Repetitive bending of a wrist and the fingers may result in small ruptures of tendon and the muscle in this region. While the golf swing tendons medial epicondylitis can be led to by them and generates a tightening in the flexor muscles, the injury can be produced by other actions.
