Husbands elbow pain may be medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)

My 50-year-old husband has been complaining of pain in his right elbow for the last few weeks.

He plays golf regularly but doesn’t recall hitting it against anything. Should he have an x-ray?

>> There can be many causes of elbow pain, but the most common is from an injury. Other causes are tennis or golfer’s elbow, a build up of fluid over the elbow joint (bursitis), a trapped nerve or repetitive strain injury (RSI).
