This is a condition that causes pain in the forearm, it is actually called epicondylitis.
Please let me make it clear that I am not a doctor, and that I will only explain what happened to me, and what I did about my own Golfer’s Elbow.
Golfers Elbow is pain that resonates from the tendons of your arm to your elbow. It is a very common condition but the main reasons for getting golfer’s elbow is:
• Your age being between 30 and 40 years of age.
• Being overweight or a smoker
• Repetitive activity for prolonged periods of the day.
It is also possible to get golfer’s elbow by other means, so not sport related. It can be caused because you are doing something maybe at work which is repetitive or even another hobby like for instance gardening.
The pain is pretty awful to be honest; it is really quite annoying.
I found the pain to be like a serious ache and had elements of some shooting pains, especially when I was picking something heavy up, and I felt I had lost a lot of power in the effected arm.
The pain did resonate in my wrist as well. If you are wondering if the pain will stop you playing golf then hopefully I can shed some light on the subject.
I managed to keep playing golf while I had this problem, I was able to manage the pain and will discuss what I ended up doing to achieve this.
