There is a bacteria that causes food poisoning called Campylobacter and this can cause neuropathy. But you could have had a virus, like the Norwalk virus which is spread easily from person to person.
There have been other posters here who reported neuropathy symptoms following discontinuing MJ. MJ is used to control pain, and removing it would reveal the pain quickly. So you could have been in pain in the past and not known it.
You could have an injury that is compressing or entrapping the nerve at the elbow. That should be looked at by the doctor.
When you are working out and lifting, do you use a magnesium supplement? Fasics can occur when magnesium is low.
I have a mag thread here:
