The pain comes from a micro-tear of the tendons. The latter concerns the non-stretchable muscles attached to the medial epicondyle of the elbow. As its name suggests, the pathology is due to excessive use of the wrist during sports or physical exercise. The patients most affected by the disease are golfers as well as tennis players.<\/p>\n
