Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a painful condition that occurs where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of your elbow. Golfer's elbow is caused by damage to the muscles and tendons that control your wrist and fingers. The pain might spread into your forearm and wrist. The damage is typically related to excess or repeated stress and can be caused by many activities aside from golf, including weight training, throwing sports and occupations such as building, plumbing and carpentry.
A typical treatment plan for golfers elbow will include taking a break from the repetitive action causing the issue, using a brace and performing exercises that progressively load the tendon. The Mayo Clinic also specifically recommends ice therapy for tendon issues. With its rapid cooling effect, Traumitane is ice in a tube. The extra-strength Arnica and Menthol combine to provide rapid & lasting cooling to soothe inflamed tendons, helping to reduce swelling and inflammation and speed up recovery.
Percutane applied in the mornings can also help manage the pain as it can directly target the area where the tendons attach to the bony bump on the inside of the elbow.
