Golfer’s elbow is an injury to the muscles that flex your wrist and fingers. Typically, the golfer’s elbow patient will experience pain when performing gripping tasks or resisted wrist/finger flexion. Pain can also be present when the muscles are stretched. Some patients may have neck stiffness and tenderness, as well as signs of median nerve irritation. Golfer’s elbow is caused by damaged muscle tissue at the point it anchors to the arm bone at the elbow. It occurs when more force is applied to an area than the normal healthy tissues can handle.
