General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concern. You can call it ulnar nerve dysfunction syndrome. It occurs due pronged compression or direct injury to ulnar nerve that is situated beneath the elbow joint. it can be diagnosed by tests of ulnar nerve, blood tests, x ray or other imaging techniques. You may take pain killers like brufen or voveran or apply a splint. drugs like gabapentin or corticosteroid injection into affected area may help.
