Hello,
My elbows have been giving me probs for a while. I now have the feeling in both arms that you get when you bang your funny bone :shock: but all the time! Anyone else get this?

    Hi Magenta

    Sorry not much help hear bad enough just banging it without having that feeling all the time, perhaps it’s a trapped nerve or if they are swollen they are trapping on the funny bone.
    Anyway I don’t know why they call it the funny bone because when you knock it its not so funny. It must be a pain putting up with that feeling all the time, have you spoken to the GP. Take care I hope it eases up soon

    Hi Magenta

    I get this, do you get a numb feeling too? It's like the feeling when you push your arms against the doorframe and they float up on their own. Hope it's not only me that's done that :oops:

    Love

    Hi Colin,
    I think it's your Humerus bone-hence the 'funny' :shock: Gp can't/won't do anything-have to wait for rhuemy! I've already got symptoms of a trapped ulnar nerve and now both elbows are swollen but this feeling is driving me mad :?
