Thanks for the links Jo, yeah.. it is just my hand... I get the odd 'stabbing' pain in my elbow, but nothing that stops me from doing anything.

I went to a physio and they determined it was not an issue with the nerve getting trapped in my upper spine. Every now and then I get a light 'throbbing' about 2-3 inches below my elbow, which makes me think that is where the problem lies.

Thanks again Jo... as I said before, the more information the better. I get a feeling that the UK health system is running on information that they learnt while training in the 80's!

I mentioned 'methycobalamine' and 'benfotiamin' to 4 consultants and 1 doctor.

All gave me the same response... "Never heard of that!"
