Medial Epicondylitis

Golfer’s elbow, also called Medial Epicondylitis, is a painful condition occurring from repeated muscle contractions in the forearm that leads to inflammation and micro tears in the tendons that attach to the medial epicondyle. The medial epicondyle is the bony prominence that is felt on the inside of the elbow.

Symptoms

Elbow pain that appears suddenly or gradually
Achy pain to the inner side of the elbow during activity
Elbow stiffness with decreased range of motion
Pain may radiate to the inner forearm, hand or wrist
Weakened grip
Pain worsens with gripping objects
Pain is exacerbated in the elbow when the wrist is flexed or bent forward toward the forearm

Investigations:

Medical History
Physical Examination
Your physician may order an x-ray to rule out a fracture or arthritis as the cause of your pain.
Occasionally, if the diagnosis is unclear, your physician may order further tests to confirm golfer’s elbow such as MRI, ultrasonography, and injection test
