  • Golfer’s elbow will usually heal on its own, but only if you adequately rest your elbow, and take the appropriate measures. If you don’t rest your elbow, then your golfer's elbow is likely to persist for quite some time.

    I have severe pain in both elbows. I do construction work and it all very painful. However I also am in severe pain doing daily activities such as showering, pouring a glass of tea or even as simple as eating dinner. I've had at least 6 injections over the last year, I do get relief on most attempts but this last one has made the pain go into overdrive. I am traditionally a person who deals with pain without much problem but this is getting extreme. Im getting close to just letting someone chop off both arms.. Sorry for the long tongue and thanks for taking your valuable time to read

      Hey Danny, I've had Golfer's since 2016. It healed once, at which point of course I got hubris and tore it up again. Now it's... almost healed, but not really. If you don't fix it now, you'll effectively be an amputee. Please invest in your future. See a physio and do what they tell you.

    Mine was due to weightlifting specifically squatting and Pull-Ups.
    After a lot of pain and suffering figured out my main issue was not knowing how to properly load my lats putting the strain on the forearm causing the elbow pain.
    So learning to properly load the lats and stretch them properly and prime with proper warm up is definitely helping.

    I have pain in the medial epicondyle from past 4 months. I did not take it seriously initially and pain got worse. I am undergoing physiotherapy from a month and been doing lot of icing. It hurts when three movements combine - elbow extension, wrist extension and radio-ulnar supination. The pain is less after few hours of icing but it’s not getting better. If I don’t ice it for a day, the pain is back to pre therapy level. Should I consult an orthopaedic? Should I consider surgery if suggested?

    How can an powerlifter/athlete get back to training if they have this?
    Also, can it ever cause a crepitus/grinding/catching noise? Ive had xrays and mris which were normal but have both pain in the flexor tendons of the elbow and crepitus when extending or flexing the elbow in certain ranges of motion. Like pulling or pressing.

      I tried 2 rounds of PRP and it didnt really seem to help much. Cortisone helped for a short period of time but now its just stuck, not getting better, not getting worse. Feels like the tissue is just permanently weakened and unable to handle too much loading. I got this hitting the gym rather hard about 6 years ago after years of being rather inactive. Machine rows, barbell curls and all that was too much for me.

    With all due respect, This guy has no clue what he's talking about. He offered absolutely no value here. Golfer's elbow I definitely be treated and it can also be avoided through proper potty mechanics. There are so many different exercises and stretches you can do for golfers elbow to help eliminate pain and fix the problem. It's all on UA-cam just not this channel.
