Golfer's Elbow Inner Elbow Pain

Pain on the inside of the elbow is easy to mislabel. Readers in Wayne can check the label against two plain questions below.

Begin with how NIAMS describes the condition, then test it against your own arm. For a wider view of pain care, start with a general pain management resource.

What golfer's elbow is

NIAMS describes the condition in one sentence. This is a form of tendinitis that causes pain in the inner part of the elbow.

Check two things against your own arm. Is the pain in the inner part of the elbow? Does your doctor call it tendinitis? Both words must fit before the label does.

Where to read more

The label sits in a wider group of sports problems. A general reference on sports injuries gives that background. Use it to compare terms, not to pick a treatment.

Cause, treatment and recovery questions for your clinician

What brought it on? Which treatments fit? How long will recovery take, and when should you stop the activity? A clinician can answer each.

Your next step

Note where the pain sits and which movements bring it on. Bring the notes to a clinician in the Wayne area. For a pain medicine group that clinicians can belong to, see a pain medicine academy.

Your clinician decides what fits your elbow. It is not medical advice.
