Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylalgia)

Golfer's elbow affects the tendons on the inner side of the elbow and is linked to repeated wrist flexion and gripping. It can occur in sports, gym training, or work that involves repetitive hand and forearm use. Pain may spread into the forearm and make lifting, twisting, or gripping objects difficult.
