Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concrn.
The spasms in the elbow crease you have seems to be muscle spasm. It's mostly due to physical exertion /muscle fatigue./lack of sleep./nuromuscular problem (needs expert opinion)
* In case it is a pulse like movemt..it is a single muscle spasm ...it does not have much of medical significance &managed by home care like rest/hot/cold packs/ mineral suppliment (specially calcium..),vitamin B12 & vitamin D vitamin E sullpiments. .over the counter... Improvement should be seen within few days.
If the pulse continues you shold consult doctor..for specific evaluation &needful treatment.
* But the spams are many muscles causes movement of whole elbow joint/hand &tremors.
Such condition might have serious nerve or muscle involvement.& needs medical evaluation.
Thanks.
