It might sound like something only golf pros need to worry about, but guess what? If you work in an office, you could be at risk too! Let’s break it down in simple terms so you know what’s up. Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain on the inside of your elbow. It happens when the tendons (the strong fibers connecting muscles to bones) around your elbow get overworked and irritated. You might feel discomfort on the inside of your elbow, and it can spread down to your forearm and wrist. You don’t need to be a golfer to get it. In fact, office workers who spend hours typing away at a computer can end up with golfer’s elbow too. How Can Office Work Cause Golfer’s Elbow? Here’s the thing: when you’re typing on a keyboard or using a mouse all day, your forearm muscles are constantly in use. But if you’re not using the best posture or taking breaks, that repetitive motion can lead to strain on the tendons. Over time, this wear and tear can cause inflammation and pain in the area around your elbow. Here are some specific ways office work can lead to golfer’s elbow: -Poor Posture: If your desk setup isn’t ergonomic, you might end up with your elbows bent at awkward angles for long periods. This can put stress on the muscles in your forearm and elbow. -Repetitive Movements: Typing or using a mouse constantly without much rest can lead to overuse of your muscles. It’s like your elbow is doing the same thing over and over again for hours on end. -Lack of Breaks: Sitting at a desk all day can lead to muscle fatigue. If you don’t take breaks to stretch, which can contribute to injuries like golfer’s elbow. How Do You Know If You Have Golfer’s Elbow? Symptoms of golfer’s elbow in office workers can look like this: Pain in the Inner Elbow: It might feel sore or tender on the inside of your elbow (the part that faces toward your body). Weak Grip: You might notice that your grip isn’t as strong as it used to be. It can be harder to hold onto things like a cup, your phone, or even a pen. Stiffness: Your elbow may feel stiff, and it could hurt when you try to straighten your arm or lift something heavy. Pain Radiates: Sometimes the pain can spread down to your forearm or wrist, making everyday tasks feel harder than they should.
