What Causes Numbness And Tingling In The Arm?

If I straighten my arm out with my palm facing upward I have a swollen knot on the interior side of the crook of my elbow area (where blood would be drawn from and no I have not had any blood drawn) . It is sore and I just noticed it today. Have a little numbness or tingling in my arm as I type and cut off the flow with my arm bent. I never jump to conclusions and have to be pretty scared into going to a Dr. is this something I should just let run it s course?

Hi,

It could be a space occupying lesion in your elbow. Get an MRI of your elbow to know the exact cause of the tingling sensation in your arm.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
