What could cause the sensation of having a wet elbow?

Question

My husband had been having the feeling as if his elbow is wet , when it's really not. He doesn't say that it hurts, just an odd feeling that he can't explain. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them or does anyone know why he'd be having these strange sensations and what should be done ??!!

Answer 1

Try stretching and getting rid of any kinks in the back, possibly seeing a chiropractor. Sounds like he is getting a pinched nerve from a tight muscle or something that sends that signal to the brain. A good back adjustment by a chiropractor (they are wonderful) or a massage by a licensed therapist should do the trick.

I am not a doc, though, might want to call a nurse's line and see if they have any suggestions.

Answer 2

I was going to give an almost identical answer as the previous post. Muscle spasms and tight muscles or tendons can put just enough pressure on the nerve to cause mild nerve sensations.
