Golfer's Elbow
This condition is marked by the presence of pain on the inside of the elbow, or pain when gripping and lifting an item such as a briefcase. Golfer's elbow is much like tennis elbow, where even resting one's arm can cause serious pain and discomfort.
Doctor's Treatment Plan
Acute:
When the injury is acute, i.e. it just happened, it is easier to treat. Treatment consists of reducing swelling, fitting the patient with a sportsbrace and then prescribing a regimen of exercises and muscular re-education.
Chronic:
In the case of an ongoing chronic aggravation, i.e. more than 2 months, the treatment is more extensive and in extreme cases, may lead to surgery. |
