What Causes Feeling Like Numbing Electricity From Elbow To Arm?
Today I started getting an unusual pain in my right elbow, (I use this side more often for work), which feels like I have electricity numbing it's way up and down my arm. Its been happening randomly throughout the day. It is so intense that I cannot grip anything to the point where all I can do is cry out in pain and wait for it to pass.
Is it poor circulation, tennis elbow, pinched nerve?
If you use this arm more often , it is possible that the pain is related to inflammation of a tendon or other soft tissue in the area.
In addition , pain of this nature can also due to abnormal structure or function of the nerves. This can occur due to various causes such as trauma, vitamin deficiency, diabetes, toxin exposure, autoimmune disease.
You should consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
i hope this helps
