What Causes Tingling And Numbness In Fingers?

Hello, I have been having problems with both of my elbows for the last five years. I am told it is just tennis elbow which I think is a bunch of crap. I have my thumb and first two fingers that go tingley and numb a lot and where elbow braces to cut the pain down. And none of it helps, it feels like a taser in my fingers, I want a surgeon to help me find out whats wrong. As it bothers me to sleep at night.

Hello,

The thumb and first two fingers going numb is a strong indicator of tennis elbow. This is what it seems you are suffering from.
The way to confirm the diagnosis would be to have an MRI of your elbow.

All the best.
