Is Numbness At The Funny Bone Area Indicative Of A Pinched Nerve?
I have some numbness in my right side, especially at the funny bone area for at least a month. I do yoga regularly and I’m wondering if it’s a pinched nerve. I have had a shoulder issue and sore hip on the same side of my body as well for a few months.

Hi,
You may have something akin to tennis elbow if the pain is strictly on the elbow. That is referred to technically as epicondylitis and can be best treated by limiting use and strain. Yoga moves where the elbow is extended her overly flexed may need to be curtailed to give the joint a chance to heal.
Ice for the first 24-48 hrs. on the area followed by warm compresses for 10 days will help. But resting the elbow more than anything will be beneficial.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
