man on golf courseGolfer's elbow is a condition that causes pain where the tendons of one's forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of one's elbow. The pain could also spread into one's forearm and wrist, as well.

Symptoms of golfer's elbow are characterized by: 

  • Pain and tenderness on the inner side of one's elbow
  • Stiffness in the elbow
  • Weakness in one's hands or wrists
  • Numbness or tingling usually in the ring and little fingers

The pain of a golfer's elbow doesn't have to keep you away from your favorite activities. With rest and appropriate treatment, one can get back into the swing of things quickly.
