Hi,
Suggestive of cubital tunnel syndrome. Based on the history you seem to be suffering from this condition due compression of the nerve behind the inside part of the elbow.I advise you to use an albow splint at night, elbow pads for proper support of the elbow, avoid repetitive flexion at the left elbow. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs such as aceclofenac would useful in relieving the pain. If pain does not subside or you do not get improvement you must consult a neurologist for further clinical assessment and certain tests such as electromyography and nerve conduction studies to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
