Pain in the elbow is often due to two main conditions – tennis elbow and golfers elbow.
Tennis elbow causes pain and tenderness around the outside of the elbow joint, whereas golfer’s elbow causes pain around the inner side of the joint.
Tennis elbow is more common than golfers elbow and both are injuries from repetitive overuse or wear and tear from any hobby, sport or activity not just tennis or golf as the name implies. Sometimes a single injury such as a sudden unexpected tug on the forearm can cause the symptoms.
Once the pain starts, your normal activities and habits can maintain the problem.
Pre-existing problems with your neck, wrist or shoulder, that might not be painful in themselves, can make it more likely for you to suffer with tennis or golfers elbow. Most cases ease naturally eventually but many people seek treatment and advice from an osteopath.
Please watch this video animation to help you understand this condition which affects not only sports people but people who for example, perform a repetitive movement at work. Fortunately this condition, where the membrane attaching the muscles to the inner (medial) side of the elbow gets repeatedly stressed and becomes inflamed (periostitis) does respond to conservative treatment including support devices to give the muscles and soft tissues a rest where they attach to medial epicondyle (the inner elbow)
