Hello,
I know a few of you have trapped Ulnar nerves in your elbows (Lindalegs most recently) and some have Carpal tunnel. I'm still waiting for my appt. for these nerve tests to see if I have similar. The feeling of numbness and tingling etc. went away for a bit but has came back. My question is this-apart from the tingling and numbness, does anyone get actual pain in their elbow?
Thanks,

    Mine used to have a pain in as if there was too short a ligament or something wasn't long enough to go over and down towards my wrist.If I rubbed it for a while it felt better but when I stopped it ached again.

    My tests were positive but by the time I had them the tingling etc was getting easier so she told me to wait and see,mine did clear by itself.

    You seem to have waited ages to get these tests done!!!

    I have pain in my elbow but only when i lean on it. It has eased a lot since I have upped my Prednisalone but it is still there. Dr suggested it was bursa and tennis elbow. It doesnt bother me too much but just one of the annoying things that makes an appearance now and then.

    Hi
    I started getting tingling in my right elbow only a few days ago. Couldn't believe it when I felt it. Comes and goes at present. The elbow has always been painful. Right elbow too. My painting arm

    The pain has now move down to under the elbow,on the inside of the elbow. Do you know how long you will have to wait for the nerve tests?

    Hi Magenta,

    I have spells of pain in my left elbow - my right elbow hasn't moved for 23 years and therefore that doesn't hurt. :roll:

    My left elbow doesn't straighten either (fun when I have bloods taken :shock: ) but it does still move. My ulna nerve appeared to become trapped on the last painful spell I had with the joint so, I assumed, it was connected. The pain went when my Rheumy injected it. :lol:

    My tingling has now stopped altogether but the elbow hurts to move it :( - I battle with feeding myself at the moment :(:( - but this will settle down as it's happened before. :D

    Luv Legs :D

    Thanks all for your replies :wink:
    I've been waiting since beginning of March for these tests! I keep thinking it's sorting itself, only for it to come back. When it does, it seems to be more painful than before. Just have to wait I suppose?
    Thanks,
