“That’s not possible, I don’t play golf!”  Pain on the inside of the elbow is commonly referred to as Golfer’s Elbow but you don’t need to play golf to be (un)lucky enough to get it!  Pain can range from an ache in the bulky part of the forearm muscles to severe pain at the bony part on the inside of the elbow.  Some people have no pain or a dull ache at rest but most have sharp pain with use.  Understanding this condition will help you address the problem and, hopefully, get rid of the pain.

Having tennis elbow doesn’t necessarily mean that you play tennis!  In fact, it is medically known as lateral epicondylitis.  A painful elbow can affect almost all activities you perform throughout your day.  From shifting your car to lifting a gallon of milk our of the refrigerator, nearly every motion that involves grasping something while moving your arm and elbow will result in pain.
