Anyone know of a cure for a trapped nerve in the elbow, apart from amputation.

Which elbow Jim?

The same one as my dodgy wrist, the left one, but does it matter which one.

Yes it does Jim.Are you right handed then the burden is not so heavy!! You need physiotherapy !!

I am left handed

That's unfortunate jimmy...it's your drinking arm.
manipulate your forearm at the elbow and at the same time
open and close fingers and thumb(stretching)...may help to free
the nerve. If that's too painful I'm afraid its the Docs.....

Been to doc's he put me on pain killers if it doesn't free itself then to see him again

Single MALT !!!!!!

Doing all the look ups at Smethwick archives for us would be the cure!!

You need two hands to do that!! Take it easy Jim.Rest and physio the only remedy for a trapped nerve or sometimes referred to as a pinched nerve.Or you could be suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
You may also need be referred to a specialist for evaluation of your nerve conduction or the presence of possible arthritis leading to carpal tunnel syndrome. Nerve conduction testing measures the speed with which an electrical impulse travels in the median nerve across the wrist. For people with this syndrome, the nerve impulse will travel more slowly across the wrist than normal. For people who have advanced carpal tunnel syndrome, measurements of electrical activity in the hand muscles may reveal signs of muscle deterioration. The consumption of lager especially Fosters is especially detrimental to sufferers of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!! The Mare and Colt Kiddy being a pub to avoid at all costs !!!

he alright then as its the penny black he frequents

Rob it is cubical tunnel syndrome that I have in the elbow not the wrist, I have had partial carpel tunnel problems for the last 15 years.

Sounds like Tennis Elbow to me! (leave it out Rob) I had to have an injection into the joint and it did the trick

It's not tennis elbow I have had that before it is a trapped nerve.

Oh right!
