Advice to heal golfers elbow?
Posted on 5/6/21 at 10:55 pm

shite hurts, feels like tendentious from pitching a baseball.
Other than resting (I.E. not playing golf which isn’t happening), anyone got a sure fire way to cure it?
I’m currently doing the regular stuff, ice, stretch, etc.... what else can I do? Also is there a certain grip or swing mistake that causes this?

Strengthen you triceps, chest, and shoulders. A lot of joint pain can originate in other areas.

Ice the hell out of it and don't go near a mat based range. I got the worst golfers elbow after I bought a hitting mat for the house. I ultimately learned to coexist with the mat by shallowing my swing but if you have a steep swing a mat can do severe damage to your wrist, elbows and knees.

Aren’t there elastic bands you can wear?
Limit practice reps, I guess.
Ice, heat, Motrin.

I struggled with it during the shut down, because I was playing everyday.
1) Ice not heat. It’s inflammation. Ice
2) wear the straps when you play
3) get a theraband and do the exercises. It really helps. There are exercise for tennis elbow and golfers elbow.
4) Keep extra straps in golf bag for when it flares up down the road.

Thanks I’ll definitely add the bands to my stretches

I second the Theraband - cured my tennis elbow (for the time being)

always wear a band and always ice it immediately after playing.the best cure is to not play for 6 weeks but if thats not possible then you must do the previous mentioned things. take 2 aleve 30 minutes before playing.

I'm not sure why I'm getting downvoted. Yes, ice and aleve will minimize the pain and he needs to rest, but even those will probably not heal the problem. Tons on knee issues are caused by instability in the hamstrings, glutes, and quads causing undue pressure on the knee joints. Same thing for the shoulder. Triceps and biceps instability can cause the same issue in the elbow.
I've, in fact, dealt with the problem. Scraping and hypervolting on my triceps would alleviate the pain and make it go completely away.

You’re right that it probably comes from a certain weakness or instability. I’m thinking wrist strengthening more likely than shoulder but I am a huge proponent of shoulder mobility especially in golf.
Wrist flexion/extension, shoulder internal rotation/external rotation. Use light weights or resistance bands. Keep a comfortable range of motion. If it hurts, don’t push through it. Rest and ice are also necessary.
NSAIDs and straps to manage the symptoms, strengthening wrist and shoulder to attack the root cause

I will swear by the Copperfit elbow sleeve. I wear one in the gym and sometimes on the golf course, and while playing basketball. It costs like $10 so it won't hurt you to try.

Man, I can feel your pain. I’ve had bouts with it, but the past 2 months have been horrible. I have the forearm brace, ice it when I can, and take ibuprofen before playing. If I just slightly bump it walking through a doorway, it almost brings me to my knees.
Almost bad enough to not play - but not quite..

I usually have to get a steroid shot in it. Only thing that will get me back on the course .
I also wear a elbow strap as well when it acts up.

Over probably the last 15 years, I've had "golfers elbow" maybe 4/5 times and have gotten cortisone shots each time and it's gone it about a day or two. I've tried the bands, anti-inflammatories, ice, etc... and they have all served as bandaids. Get a shot and be done with it.

I had bad elbow tendonitis from baseball in HS. There was this v-shaped ice bath "thing" I'd submurge my elbow in 3-4 times a day for 30 minutes, and I'd take about 20 Advil throughout the day. That got me through the season. But unless you'll not play for awhile it won't go away.
(edit) I never tried cortizone shots or steriods and that sounds like it works.

I did steroid shots. worked.
its temporary.
the advice about whole body is correct.
if you can afford: get physical therapy related. steroid shot doc can supervise.

Thanks for all of the help guys. I haven’t played golf in a week. I am icing every day before bed and taking Advil as well as stretching and doing wrist and forearm strengthening exercises. It’s gotten a little better but I’m still really active with my job so it’s almost impossible for me to not use my forearm throughout the day. I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing for another week or two and if it doesn’t go away I’m going to get the shot
