  1. What Are the Common Symptoms of Golfer’s Elbow?

  2. Most people often mistake golfer’s elbow for tennis elbow. One reason for this is that golfers elbow symptoms are quite similar with those of tennis elbow. Sufferers experience pain in their elbow that often spreads to other parts of the arm. However, there are certain things that make them quite different from each other. Let’s take a look at what happens when you have golfer’s elbow.

  3. What Are the Symptoms of Golfer’s Elbow? Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is one of the most common causes of medial elbow pain. If is generally caused by overusing the muscles in your arm, forearm, or hand. If you’re afflicted with this condition, you will experience pain when performing tasks that require you to grip objects. You may also experience pain and tenderness in the inner said of your elbow when the muscles of the affected arm are stretched. Sometimes, they can be felt along the inner side of your forearm and neck.

  4. In certain occasions, your elbows will feel stiff and it hurts to make a fist. You may also feel weakness in your hands and wrists. The feeling of numbness or tingling, which could spread to one or more fingers (particularly the pinky and ring finger), is also a common symptom amongst people with golfer’s elbow.  

  5. Symptoms may appear gradually. However, there are instances where the pain in your elbow will just come out of nowhere and catch you by surprise. Symptoms may get worse when you continue to use the affected arm, so it would be wise to refrain from doing the activities that caused the injury toprevent your golfer’s elbow from getting worse.

  6. Getting a Golfer’s Elbow Test Proper diagnosis is the key to getting the right treatment. This is why at the onset of pain, you should consult your doctor and undergo a test as soon as possible. This way, you can be sure that the symptoms you are experiencing are caused by golfer’s elbow and not by other medical conditions such as tennis elbow or bone fracture.

  7. Golfer’s elbow is clinically diagnosed by a physiotherapist or a doctor. The doctor will usually ask about your injury history and perform clinical tests to confirm your condition. He or she may also encourage you to have an ultrasound or MRI scan to determine if there are tear or inflammation in your elbow tendons.

  8. After the golfers elbow test, it’s best to get treatment immediately because according to experts, golfer’s elbow better responds to treatment when the symptoms are just manifesting themselves.
