re: Pain in elbow where forearm meets at the top and numb hands and arms when I wake up.

Reading more of the other suggestions. Sounds like how the docs first diagnosed me. Keep saying it was the nerve compresses in my elbow and put me in a brace. Didn’t get better. Was finally diagnosed it was compression in the neck

When I slept on my left side I felt the numbness. Had to learn to sleep on my back with support under my neck and do decompression stretches with my neck. Finally went away.

Sounds like Ulnar nerve Thought I had issue with nerve in my elbow. Same symptoms. Pinky and portions of my ring finger would go numb Turned out it was actually the nerve pinching in my neck.

Bingo. Trapped Ulnar nerve.
