10 Broken Elbow Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Numbness
Our nerves go all the way down our arms and into our hands. Here, they help to relay information back to the brain so it can understand more about the world around it. If the nerves are damaged or affected in any way, though, then the ability to touch and feel can be lost.
If you do break your elbow, there is a good chance of trapping or damaging nerves in the area. This can cause numbness and also possibly pins and needles. It is a symptom you should report to medical professionals and you should hopefully be able to make a full recovery.
