Golfer’s Elbow, also known as Medial Epicondylitis, is a condition which causes pain in the muscles on the inside of the elbow and the forearm. Often the pain is localised on the elbow and pain typically worsens with certain movements. However, the pain can spread into the forearm and wrist making it hard to perform basic movements with the affected arm such as grabbing objects.
