Did I sustain nerve damage in my elbow? |
long story short, I "threw my elbow out" (like when you whip a baseball too hard first time in the season) and a few weeks later elbowed someone in the face and got messed up (are those injuries related?). It was like hitting my funny bone but horribly worse, my ring and pinky finger went completely numb with a shock from my elbow to my hand. It burned quite a bit and tingled too. This lasted about 5 minutes and I regained feeling and movement. A few days after and it's sore at the elbow. WTF is this? Well sure, you impinged nerves there. Thus the burning and tingling. Football players call that a stinger because it stings. Don't worry about it, it will heal. May take a week or so. Definitely sounds like pinched nerves. Anti-inflamatory drugs may help...ask your doctor. You probably injured your ulnar nerve since this supplies your ring finger and pinky. This nerve is superficial on the inner aspect of your elbow(funny bone). Looks just like a contusion on the nerve since you regained feeling and movement already. The soreness should go in 1-2 weeks. |
