Need some advice.
For the last two months or so, maybe longer because time is meaningless, ive had this problem with my right elbow.
It started when I turned in bed and leaned on it. It felt like the skin of my elbow was tearing and it felt tender for a few minutes after but was fine. Until I put pressure on it again.

Same thing. A feeling like I was going to tear the skin right off of the bone.

And it's gotten worse to the point my elbow now always feels tender. It feels like someone is poking it with a needle. And the tearing feeling is still very much there whenever I put pressure on it.

So heaven help me when I turn in the night. It wakes me up pretty sharpish.

Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

I'm making an appointment with my doc Monday for an unrelated thing. But I'm gonna ask about this too. Because it's becoming a real issue.

yeah, I was gonna say ask a doctor, because that sounds Not Great, whatever it is

I tried looking it up but that never ends well.

ask about it, yeah

could be cubital tunnel syndrome? like carpal, but more the ulnar nerve

I dunno but it sucks. It's to a point now whenever I use my arm/hand it's causing pain in my elbow.

I used to get a sharp, tugging pain that faded into a persistent 'fuzzy' ache?? all up the outer side of my pinky to my elbow

I wore a wrist brace for a bit and put less pressure on that arm and it faded after a bit. Not sure if that helps you though ):

I used to have to wear a brace a few years back because of carpal tunnel. But this is pretty much just my elbow and it's either sharp pains or a tearing and it's near constant now. And makes me sad. Because using my arm hurts. Which means tagging hurts.

if you still have your wrist brace it might help in the meantime! at worst I imagine it'd do nothing

Sadly not. But I might see about getting something tomorrow

All I know is I've just gotten outta bed and after leaning on it again, and waking myself up, the pain is worse. Now any arm movement hurts. >.>

Monday can't come soon enough
