a condition that affects the tendons that connect your forearm muscles to the bone on the inner part of your elbow. This is often as a result of stress and strain that is exerted on the tendon through repeated activities that cause tiny tears in the tendons. Although the condition is named after golf, it can also be developed by any activity that involves the repeated use of the hand, wrist or forearm muscles such as weight training, tennis, typing or even lifting heavy objects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golfers_Elbow_Symptoms\"><\/span><strong>Golfers Elbow Symptoms\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symptoms of this condition can be mild to severe pain and this makes it hard to perform simple tasks. If not treated, it may cause chronic pain and restrict your <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/the-importance-of-a-30-minute-physical-activity-everyday\/\">physical activities<\/a>. Therefore it is important to identify the signs of the golfer&#8217;s elbow as early as possible to avoid the worsening of the condition. The most common symptoms include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow (the bony bump called the medial epicondyle).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain in the elbow that is worse in the morning or after a period of inactivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty in holding objects with the hand or wrist or in making a fist.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paresthesia <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(tingling\/abnormal sensation ) or numbness<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which may be referred down to the ring and little fingers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain that is aggravated by bending the wrist backwards, grasping objects or lifting something up.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are having these symptoms, it is advisable to avoid any activity that may be worsening the pain and consult a doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golfers_Elbow_Test_How_to_Diagnose_It\"><\/span><strong>Golfers Elbow Test: How to Diagnose It\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the ways of diagnosing medial epicondylitis is by conducting a golfers elbow test. Your doctor may perform one or more of these tests to confirm the diagnosis:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Palpation Test: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The doctor will palpate the medial epicondyle (inner part of the elbow) to determine if it is sore or painful.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Resistance Test:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The patient is requested to clench the fist, flex the wrist towards the palm and oppose the force applied by the doctor in an attempt to dorsiflex the wrist. Positive findings on this test include pain on the inner side of the elbow which may be a sign of this condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Grip Test:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you have a feeling of pain or weakness when holding an object such as a golf club, then you might be suffering from a golfer&#8217;s elbow.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your doctor may also advise you to undergo imaging tests like X-ray or MRI to eliminate other conditions like fractures or<a href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/ligament-lnjuries\/\"> ligament injuries<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Golfers_Elbow_Treatment_Options\"><\/span><strong>Golfers Elbow Treatment Options\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that golfers elbow treatment is mostly non-operative. For most of the conditions, the patient is advised to take a break from the activity that caused the pain, do some stretching and perform some strengthening exercises. Below are some of the most effective treatment methods for golfer\u2019s elbow:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rest_and_Ice_Therapy\"><\/span><strong>Rest and Ice Therapy\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first line of treatment for this condition is to avoid using the affected arm for some time. This means refraining from activities that put pressure on the elbow tendons for example lifting objects or engaging in activities that require the use of the arms such as sports. Ice on the elbow should be applied for 15-20 minutes several times a day to decrease inflammation and pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Over-the-Counter_Pain_Relievers\"><\/span><strong>Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ibuprofen or naproxen can be used to control pain and inflammation in the elbow as they are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is important to stick to the prescribed dosage and seek medical advice if there is any issue regarding the use of medication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Physical_Therapy_and_Stretching\"><\/span><strong>Physical Therapy and Stretching\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your physical therapist can teach you golfers elbow exercises that are aimed at stretching and strengthening the muscles and tendons in your arm and forearm. Muscle strengthening can also be of great benefit in reducing pressure on the elbow joint and thus avoiding future injuries. Sometimes, the patient may also be advised to undergo massage therapy or ultrasound therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bracing_or_Splinting\"><\/span><strong>Bracing or Splinting\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wearing a brace or splint can also assist in helping the affected area and decrease<a href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/learning-the-definition-of-stress-and-ways-to-manage-it\/\"> stress<\/a> on the tendons. An elbow strap or forearm brace can immobilize the area to avoid further strain on the tendons as they repair themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Surgical_Options\"><\/span><strong>Surgical Options\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If conservative measures do not work, then surgery may be needed to remove the damaged tissue or to repair the tendons. Surgery for golfer\u2019s elbow is rarely performed and is only considered if the patient has not responded to conservative treatment for 6-12 months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exercises_for_Golfers_Elbow\"><\/span><strong>Exercises for Golfer\u2019s Elbow\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the initial inflammation has occurred, it is possible to include exercises for golfer\u2019s elbow into the training process to increase flexibility, reduce pain, and strengthen the muscles of the elbow.
