Medical Definition: Inflammation of muscles and tendons on the medial (inside) of the elbow.

Causes: Chronic stress of the muscles and tendons that bend the hand inward. This can result in microtears in the tendon and lead to pain and inflammation on the medial side of the elbow.

Symptoms: Pain and tenderness in the medial elbow region, especially when gripping or rotating the forearm.

Recommended Treatment: R.I.C.E. - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Reduce activity to promote healing. Apply Ice for 10-15 minutes after each workout to reduce inflammation and pain. (If any skin irritation or adverse reaction occurs due to icing, see your medical doctor). A proper stretching routine is highly recommended pre and post workouts, with emphasis on forearm stretching (Wrist Flexor, Wrist Extensor). As with any orthopedic injury, a consultation with a sports medicine professional is recommended.
