Medial epicondylalgia (previously known as epicondylitis) is commonly known as golfer’s elbow. This does not mean that only golfers have this condition. But the golf swing is a common cause of medial epicondylalgia. Many other repetitive activities can also lead to golfer’s elbow: throwing, lifting, and chopping wood with an axe, weight training and gripping when using many types of hand tools, even typing with poor technique. Any activities that repeatedly stress the same forearm muscles can cause symptoms of golfer’s elbow.
