Why The Bone In The Forearm Is Paining And The Elbow To Finger Tips Goes Numb If Leaned On It?

The bone in my forearm (the bigger one) is very painful at my elbow, when i even slightly lean on it my arm, from elbow to finger tips goes numb and doesn t regain feeling for quite a while after? The bone in my elbow sticks out a lot and you can feel it when you touch the area it is without applying pressure. My other arm is not like this. What could it be? Im 21, 5ft5 and don t know my exact weight. Around 160lbs.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the elbow.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using gentle stretching exercises.
Cold compresses can also be helpful.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
