My golf and bowling seasons overlap by about a month in the fall and likewise in the spring. Last fall my right arm (I'm right handed) really started bothering me. It got to where it was sometimes difficult to even pick up something light (felt like the whole arm was giving out). THe pain seemed to be concentrated in my elbow. Doctor diagnosed it as "tennis elbow" (tendinitis), gave me some ibuprofen and a brace. As bowling season went on it seemed to improve, rarely bothering me.
Now that I am golfing again (for about 6 weeks) and bowling has just ended, it is acting up again. It seems to be more related to golf. The elbow hurts but the pain seems to run all the way to my wrist and up through my bicep. Going back to the doctor but wondering if anyone has had something similar. I don't think the tendinitis diagnoses is correct because the brace (which is supposed to relieve pressure on the tendons in the elbow) doesn't seem to help.

You may have a bone spur rubbing against a nerve in your elbow - that's what ended my baseball days and made me stick to golf - I used to pitch and threw sidearm to 3/4 in little league and youth ball. I think the only way to fix it is to have them go in and shave the bone down, but you definitely want to talk to an orthopedist about that.

Often the elbow pain is related to stess on your wrist. When I am bowling and playing golf at the same time I tend to get elbow and wrist tendonitis.

had this exact thing happen, the doc gave me a cortisone shot in the elbow and sent me to physical rehab a couple days a week for about three weeks, that was a couple of years ago and it hasn't gave me problems since. you learn some really good stretches in rehab for that to help to keep it from returning. hope this helps.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
