Hi I have had a terrible pain in my right arm at the front of my elbow where my arm bends, it comes and goes very randomly but when I do have the pain every time I bend it fully or straighten it fully the pain is unbearable but sometime with abit of fiddling about with my hands the pain goes into I bent it again Any ideas would be wonderful
Hi, The location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on. going from an area in a line implies nerve and the funny bone is actually the ulnar nerve which runs over the outside of the elbow in a groove there. Rest and anti-inflammatories often help, but sometimes very slight surgery to relieve pressure is needed.cannot say in your particular case, but generally, this would be true. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
