Grip and forearm fatigue
Golf elbow usually feels like pain on the inner side of the elbow that can spread into the forearm. It often hurts when you grip, lift with the palm facing up, carry bags, use a screwdriver or do tasks that require a steady wrist. Simple actions like holding a mug, pressing buttons or shaking hands can also feel uncomfortable.
Over time grip may fatigue sooner, the hand can feel less reliable and you may start avoiding certain actions without noticing. This can lead to compensations at the shoulder or wrist and discomfort elsewhere because you move differently. A good plan focuses on smart activity pacing through the day, gradual strengthening and improved technique for gripping and wrist use so capacity increases without repeated flare-ups.
