Golferâs elbow differs from tennis elbow in that the pain is focused on the inside of the elbow. But the causes are similar: tendon tears caused by repetitive movement, whether itâs a golf swing, lifting weights, or simply shaking hands. The most common symptom of tennis elbow is an ache on the outside of the elbow. Over time -- from a few weeks to a few months -- the ache turns into a chronic pain. The outside of your elbow may become too painful to touch. Eventually, you may find it harder or more painful to grip or lift things.
