Epicondylitis

Epicondylitis:

• Also known as “golfer’s elbow”, affecting the inner part of the elbow.
• This is another form of tendonitis affecting the wrist and digit flexors where they originate at the medial epicondyle of the elbow.
• May be caused by excess or repetitive motions in the wrist and fingers (such as typing), or a sudden force to the elbow or wrist.
• Symptoms include a dull aching sensation over the tendon, discomfort with specific movements, and tenderness to touch.
