Lump On The Elbow, Numbness In The Left Hand And Fingers. Calcium Deposit?
hello i have been googling a few things online trying to figure out what may be the cause of my husbands left hand and fingers to be falling asleep. I am wondering if the lump right below is elbow has anything to do with it. A while ago he was told that it was a calcium deposit, because it rolled around, he was never diagnosied though. Does this have something to do with it, or is he dealing with something else....Please help! Thanks so much!!!

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Problem of having lump below elbow is the cause for the problem of having its effect on left hand and fingers.
There is one nerve called ulner nerve is pressed by this lump giving him this trouble.
Consult orthopedic surgeon, get x-ray done and get it diagnosed.
After diagnosis go for the treatment accordingly.
Ok and bye.
