Pain above the inside bone of the elbow (under & at the end of the bicep) when extending the arm (in javelin and handball)
Jan 30, 2016
2nd opinion

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
This pain is most likely due to a condition know as Golfer's elbow, which results from the inflammation of the tendons of the forearm muscles at the point where they attach to the bony bump of the elbow joint on the inner side. This condition is not restricted to golf players but can occur in people who frequently exercise using their elbow joint.
Golfer's elbow is characterized by pain and tenderness on the inner side of your elbow. Sometimes the pain extends along the inner side of your forearm. Pain typically worsens with certain movements. You may also experience some stiffness. Your elbow may feel stiff, and it may hurt to make a fist. Sometimes you may have weakness in your hands and wrists. Additionally, numbness or tingling might radiate into one or more fingers — usually the ring and little fingers.
The pain of golfer's elbow can come on suddenly or gradually. The pain might worsen when you:

Swing a golf club or racket
Squeeze or pitch a ball
Shake hands
Turn a doorknob
Lift weights
Pick up something with your palm down
Flex your wrist

You need to rest your affected elbow (no exercise) for a few days, take anti inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen.
