What Is The Cause Of Tenderness And Pain In The Forearm?

I have forearm pain when straightening my right arm. Pain is from the crease between the upper arm and forearm down a few inches. no pain on either inside or outside of elbow. Original injury I think was a result of shoveling snow and having to fling the snow high. Just got back from a golf trip and pain got worse as the week went on. When I woke up this morning I had a large bruise running up and down my inner arm centered around elbow but still no elbow pain. The area at the center of the forearm close to the elbow is tender when pressed, there is no pain when the arm is relaxed or when fully curled to the should but gets progressively worse as I straighten the arm.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

In my opinion this is a type of tendonitis which when come from inner side of elbows from your given history it is named Golfers elbow. Golfer's elbow is a condition that causes pain where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of your elbow.

The pain might spread into your forearm and wrist. Golfer's elbow is similar to tennis elbow, which occurs on the outside of the elbow. It's not limited to golfers. Tennis players and others who repeatedly use their wrists or clench their fingers also can develop golfer's elbow. The pain of golfer's elbow doesn't have to keep you off the course or away from your favorite activities.

Rest and appropriate treatment can get you back into the swing of things. Also known as medial epicondylitis, is caused by damage to the muscles and tendons that control your wrist and fingers. The damage is typically related to excess or repeated stress — especially forceful wrist and finger motions. Improper lifting, throwing or hitting, as well as too little warm-up or poor conditioning, also can contribute to golfer's elbow, common with (tennis players, golf, racket, throwing sports, weight lifting).

Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
