How to Fix Golfers Elbow

[717golfer]

I see many here complaining that they have developed golfers elbow. I play every day so I too have been afflicted by this and many other muscle or tendon aches. My daughter is a massage therapist, and any time I get the aches I just have her give me a massage. The most effective part is call "cross fiber friction". This is where you press very hard on the connective tissue at the joint going across the direction the muscle travels. If you search you tube for whatever ailment you have you will find many videos on how to self massage golfers elbow. If you do it the way they describe you will find that in a very short time you will be back to swinging again. This works for so many of my aches. I do it all the time.

I've been using graphite for a few years now. A couple weeks ago I ordered the new M2 irons with steel shafts because I didn't like the graphite shaft offerings. After 3 range trips, the inside of my trail elbow hurts like holy hell. A fellow golfer recommended the Tommy Copper elbow sleeve. I bought one today and just wearing it for a few minutes definitely reduced the pain. I'm gonna give it a go Sunday and report back the results. Oh btw, I'll be gaming my Callaway Apex with Steelfibers. Those new M2's are getting Padersons.

I just had my first run in with tendonitis in the ring finger/wrist of my leading hand this weekend. Was a normal 4 iron shot nothing special to speak of, but the pain radiated down my finger/wrist and forearm. Hurts to grip anything. Not sure how fix this one, or if simply not swinging will work, but I don't want to stop swinging the clubs!

This is what I have bad eddie. Leading arm/hard to grip things. It's manageable as long as I skip a couple of days a week. There is still some amount of pain daily though. Some days it's just real tight and will loosen up after a few easy swings with some amount of pain during those swings. Based on my comment earlier in this thread I've been dealing with this for 3 weeks and hasn't really changed much.

I don't know if it's proper to call it an injury, but the first day that I felt the pain I couldn't pick up/hold anything with my left arm. Skipped that day. The next day I took a half swing with a 9 iron and it almost brought a tear to my eye. It loosened up a lot as I made more swings. All I can say is that it hasn't been that bad again.

Taking a week off is not an option for me...

Well I just had a bit of an epiphany. It is my left hand ring finger, where I do wear my wedding band. Thinking the ring might be the real issue here, getting pushed into the tendon repeatedly. Gonna let it heal for a couple days and remove the ring whenever i play. I've wore this ring for many years and kind of forgot it was on. Here's to hoping this works!
