Medial epicondylitis is also known as golfer's elbow, baseball elbow, suitcase elbow, or forehand tennis elbow. It's characterized by pain from the elbow to the wrist on the inside (medial side) of the elbow. The pain is caused by damage to the tendons that bend the wrist toward the palm.
Tendinitis is an acutely inflamed swollen tendon that doesn't have microscopic tendon damage. The underlying culprit in tendinitis is inflammation. Tendinosis, on the other hand, is a chronically damaged tendon with disorganized fibers and a hard, thickened, scarred and rubbery appearance.

ICD-10 | Pain in right forearm (M79. 631)
Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis affects the outer or lateral side of your elbow. These are the muscles you use to bend your wrist backward and straighten your fingers. Golfer's elbow or medial epicondylitis affects the inner or medial side of your elbow.
A bony bump, called the medial epicondyle, is located along the inside of the elbow. Pain occurs on or near this bump, where the tendons of your forearm muscles connect to the bone. Repetitive forces can cause the tendon to become tender and irritated.
Technically, you can refer to the area as the antecubital fossa. Antecubital is an adjective meaning "of or relating to the inner or front surface of the forearm" (in Latin ante means "before" and cubitum means "elbow"). Fossa is a Medieval Latin borrowing that is used for an anatomical pit, groove, or depression.
