Jean -

I have been having elbow pain for about a year now. It started with tingling and numbness in my right hand, then it progressed to strength loss, then my elbow started to hurt. And now I still have all those symptoms with the worst being the pain in my elbow. It is the inside side of my elbow that hurts - right down the line of the ulnar nerve. It hurts about 4 inches above and 4 inches below my below. Even slightly rubbing ove my elbow KILLS! My husband accidentially did it today - and man! Otherwise I just have constant pain all day long. Worse when I try to do ANYTHING with my arm. I don't carry anything more than my purse and then only that on that side for a short period of time because it hits my elbow.

I have had 2 neg EMGs, 1 MRI which showed that I also have a bone growth which could be contributing to the problem. So they tested me for thoracis outlet syndrome, which came back positive. But I really have a hard time believing that that could cause SO MUCH PAIN!

I am seeing a specialist next week - so it should be an interesting appointment. Let me know how you are feeling - I'd too be interested in someone with the same type of problem.

: Lisa I would love to know what your elbow pain feels like. I have pain that begins just above the elbow and also the hand burning and numbness at night. Just want to hear the elbow and arm pain that someone else has so I won't think I'm NUTS
