Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer's Elbow)
Pain and swelling on the inside of the elbow from overused forearm tendons.
What is it?
This is swelling and pain on the inner part of your elbow. It happens when the tendons that connect your forearm muscles to your elbow get inflamed from repeating the same movements. This is common in adults and affects men and women equally.
Let’s talk about it
This is the same idea as tennis elbow, but it happens on the inside of your elbow. The tendons on the inner part of your elbow get inflamed from being used over and over again, like when you swing a golf club.
Treatment options
Treatments can include wearing a wrist splint or a special band on your forearm. You should also stretch your wrist, massage the area, and use ice for new pain or heat for old pain. It’s also important to reduce activities that involve forceful wrist movements.
