What Is The Cause Of Pain Near Ulna Bone And Numbness? History Of Broken Forearm
Hi, I broke my left forearm about 9 years ago and had to have two metal plates put in. Everything has been fine up until a few days ago when I started experiencing some pain around the ulna bone. It feels slightly numb and almost like there's a bruise there. Could I have done something to cause this?
