Pain on the inside of the elbow, usually during or after intense use. Because this occurs often in golfers it has become known as ‘golfer’s elbow’.

Causes

It is thought that overuse of the wrist extensors creates cumulative stress, and small tears in the tendon. This causes inflammation and pain. As the tendon repairs, scar tissue may form.

Symptoms

Pain at the medial epicondyle (inside of elbow) is a classic symptom of medial epicondylitits. The pain may increases when flexing the wrist, and may radiate down the forearm. Activities that use the flexor muscles in a bending motion or grasping with the hand can increase the symptoms.
