GOLFER'S ELBOW

Golfer’s elbow describes when you feel pain around the bony bump on the inside of your elbow. The pain may extend down your arm, all the way to the wrist. (Tennis elbow describes a similar pain that occurs on the outside of the elbow.)

Golfer’s elbow is not just caused by swinging a golf club. Any activity that requires repeated twisting or flexing and extending the wrist—like painting, spring cleaning, and even shaking hands may cause that pain in your elbow to flare. The pain may be gradual or appear suddenly.The inside of your elbow near the bony bump hurts and is tender to the touch.
