Went to the doctor
I went to my primary care physician and got a referral to an orthopedist but the doctor had some ideas for what my problem is. She thinks it looks like compression of the ulnar nerve which is the nerve that you feel when you hit your "funnybone". What I have is likely cubital tunnel syndrome and is an injury caused by repetitive motion similar to carpal tunnel syndrome.
There is a minor surgery where the ulnar nerve is moved inside the arm so that it can no longer be bumped or pinched. Hopefully it doesn't come to this but I have searched online and most people have had good luck with this surgery.
If anyone else has any information about this injury or the surgery required specifically in reference to bodybuilding please help. Thanks.
