If you've got pain in your elbow, you might be wondering if you have tennis elbow or golfer's elbow. Let's take a quick look at what...

Think about it: even a seemingly casual game of baseball involves bursts of sprinting, quick pivots, and powerful swings. Are your muscles, tendons, and joints truly prepared for these demands if your regular routine is more sedentary? The good news is that with a little foresight and planning, you can significantly reduce your risk of injury and enjoy a vibrant, active season.

**Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)** is a condition causing pain on the inside of your elbow, often radiating down the forearm. It's not just for golfers; repetitive gripping, twisting, or wrist flexion can strain the tendons attaching forearm muscles to the bony bump (medial epicondyle) of your elbow, leading to tiny tears and inflammation.
