You may have bumped your "funny bone" at the back of your elbow, causing shooting numbness and pain. The funny-bone feeling can be intense, but it's not serious. It will go away on its own. Maybe your elbow has become sore after activity. Elbow injuries can be minor or serious. They may include symptoms such as pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, weakness, or decreased range of motion.
Elbow injuries occur most often during:
Sports or recreational activities.
Work-related tasks.
Work or projects around the home.
Falls.
Common causes of elbow pain include:
Broken arm
Bursitis (A condition in which small sacs that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near joints become inflamed.)
Cervical disc herniation
Dislocated elbow
Golfer's elbow
Gout
Osteoarthritis (the most common type of arthritis)
Osteochondritis dissecans
Pseudogout
Reactive arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (a condition that can affect the joints and organs)

Shoulder problems
Sprains (Stretching or tearing of a tissue band called a ligament, which connects two bones together in a joint.)
Stress fractures (Tiny cracks in a bone.)
Tendinitis (A condition that happens when swelling called inflammation affects a tendon.)
