...Golfers Elbow.
Golfers Elbow (or pitchers elbow), isn't just for athletes. Although golfing and throwing a baseball are very good ways to cause this type of injury, any activity that you forcefully and repetitely put stress on your wrist flexors can cause this. With the fall approaching, many people will be raking leaves and maybe even chopping some wood. Although not nearly as fun as golfing or playing baseball, these are a couple good ways to cause some symptoms. The medical term is "medial epicondylitis" and the symptoms will be pain and soreness along the inside of your elbow. At Blue Hills Sports & Spine we have successfully treated many patients with this condition. To learn all about medial epicondylitis and how to diagnose and treat it, click the picture above.
