Medial epicondylitis or Golfer’s elbow is a painful condition where the tendons of forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of your elbow.
It is a condition affecting the inner aspect of the upper forearm/elbow.
Common Symptoms
- The pain can come on suddenly or gradually.
- The pain sometimes radiates or extends along the inner side of your forearm and wrist.
- Pain typically worsens with certain movements.
- Stiffness or tenderness and making a fist might hurt.
- Weakness in your hands and wrists.
- Numbness or tingling. These sensations might radiate into one or more fingers — usually the ring and little fingers.
- Elbow may become hot and inflamed.
- Feverish conditions
- Hard to bend your elbow.
- Elbow may look deformed.
Possible Causes & Risk Factors
- Microscopic tears, inflammation and weakness in the muscle or tendon which flexes your wrist where it attaches onto the elbow joint.
- Damage to the muscles and tendons that control your wrist and fingers.
- It is often exacerbated by gripping / squeezing or performing repetitive wrist movements, typically related to excess or repeated stress — especially forceful wrist and finger motions.
- Improper throwing or hitting in certain games.
- Little warm-up before an exercise.
- Improper playing technique, especially the backhand, can cause injury to the tendon.
- Excessive use of topspin or a racket that’s too small or heavy.
