<human>: Hi, I am a 55 year old female.  For the past 2 months I have had pain in my left elbow. Sometimes it radiates into my forearm, and sometimes my fingers go numb.  At night if I sleep with it bent the pain will wake me up and will subside when I lay it straight.
<bot>: Hello, You may be suffering from either tennis elbow or some compression of nerves at your affected limb. You should do following to have relief from this:- Check position of your neck and limb at night. It should be comfortable. The armpit, inner part of elbow and wrist should not be acutely bend or compressed.- You may wear tennis elbow splint.- Keep a rolled soft pillow under your neck during sleep.- Get your self evaluated for cervical spondylosis, diabetes and high blood pressure. I hope this will help in relieving your symptoms. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
