golfers elbow
Inner arm strain
Golfer's elbow is pain and inflammation where the forearm tendons attach to the bony bump on the inside of the elbow.
Despite the name, it affects anyone who repeatedly grips, twists, or flexes the wrist—from tennis players to carpenters to office workers.
The medical term is medial epicondylitis.
Compare tennis elbow, which affects the outside of the elbow.
