Tests to Confirm Golfer's Elbow

Outside of an X-ray, the physician might request comprehensive imaging studies. The most typical is an MRI, which checks for any deformities or signs of infection that may be causing the pain. However, an MRI is unlikely to be used in the diagnosis.

During follow-up care, the doctor might get a second x-ray for persistent pain following traditional treatments. However, sometimes when there's heavy inflammation, minor fractures might not show up on the imaging.
