Question
Dear Dr. Newhart,
I am doing research for an article about golfer's elbow. My question is, what
activities, other than golfing, have you seen bring on this condition?
Thank you for your time and expertise.
Donna Dee

Answer
Any activity with repetitive motion, tennis, golf, using a hammer., etc.  Golfer's elbow is inflammation on the medial elbow, also called Medial Epicondylitis, or inflammation of the medial epicondyle of the elbow.  Treatments usually call for limiting the repetitive activity, icing the injury, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, myofascial release, and low level laser.
