Symptoms & Signs
The elbow is the joint where three long bones meet in the middle portion of the arm. The bone of the upper arm (humerus) meets the inner bone of the forearm (ulna) and the outer bone of the forearm (radius) to form a hinge joint. Elbow pain is most often the result of tendinitis, which can affect the

inner or outer elbow. Elbow pain has many other causes including arthritis and bursitis. Funny bone sensation is irritation of a nerve at the elbow that causes numbness and tingling of the inner elbow, forearm as well as little and ring fingers. Bacteria can also infect the skin of a scraped (abraded) elbow to cause pain. General treatment for elbow pain includes icing, rest, and medication for inflammation.
