What is golfer’s elbow (also known as common flexor tendinopathy or medial epicondylitis)?

Golfer’s elbow causes pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow. Golfer’s elbow is common in manual workers and those that play racquet sports and lift heavy weights. It does not only occur in those that play golf! It is relatively easy to diagnose and diagnostic ultrasound can confirm the severity of your condition and whether or not there is a tear in the tendon. This can affect how long it will take you to recover and the optimal treatment for your condition. Exercise-based treatment in the form of physiotherapy has been shown to be the most effective intervention for golfer’s elbow. However, if you have a tear in your tendon or your pain is not improving, shockwave treatment or injection therapy can be an effective treatment modality for golfer’s elbow.

What are the symptoms of golfer’s elbow pain?

The symptoms of a golfer’s elbow are:

  • Pain, point tenderness and occasional swelling on the bone and muscles on the inside of the elbow
  • Pain that is made worse by gripping and repetitive wrist movements
  • Extreme pain if you hit the inside of your arm against a wall or door

If this sounds like your pain, read on…

What other conditions can mimic golfer’s elbow pain?

If this does not sound like your pain there are other conditions that can mimic the pain of golfer’s elbow such as:

  1. Cubital tunnel syndrome
  2. Tennis Elbow
  3. Posterior Interosseus Nerve (PIN) entrapment

Golfers elbow vs Tennis elbow

Golfers elbow causes pain and tenderness on the inside of the arm elbow, whereas tennis elbow causes pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. The pain associated with both golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow are aggravated by gripping and lifting. However, golfers’ elbow is aggravated by moving the wrist down and tennis elbow by moving the wrist up i.e. cocking the wrist.
