Perhaps you have injured a tendon that goes 'over' the elbow allowing it to bend and extend. Perhaps you fell on it. Perhaps you slept on it for too long. This is one reason we toss and turn is to prevent this. A doctor may have to take a look at it.

The medial area of the elbow, often referred to as the medial elbow or medial aspect of the elbow, is located on the inner side of the joint where the humerus, radius, and ulna converge. It includes structures such as the ulnar collateral ligament, tendons of the forearm flexors, and the ulnar nerve. This area is crucial for stability and movement of the elbow, particularly in activities involving flexion and rotation. Injuries or conditions affecting the medial elbow can lead to pain and dysfunction, often seen in athletes and individuals performing repetitive overhead activities.

What is the difference between golfers elbow and tennis elbow?

Tennis elbow and Golfer's elbow are two types of sore elbow. The prominent knuckles (epicondyles) on either side of the elbow joint provide attachment to groups of forearm muscles. Due to the concentration of muscular attachments in a small area, these epicondyles are victimized by a constant pull from the muscles. Certain activities like tennis, golf, household work, and so on, lead to inflammation of these epicondyles causing sore elbow. Inflammation of the epicondyle on the outer side of the elbow (lateral) is called tennis elbow. Inflammation of the epicondyle on the inner side of the elbow (medial) is called golfer's elbow. Though, tennis and golf predispose people to these diseases, it is not a rule. Infact many people who dont play these games and lead a sedentary life may also get these diseases.
