I have the same thing. It has to do with the nerves in your elbow. Not sure root cause, just know I may have to have surgery....

I have the same thing! In my finger tips and my hands.... sometimes my feet too. I mentioned this to my Endo but she said it wasn't Diabetes related, if it were then it would be more at night, laying in bed, wake you up type of thing. It's probably more caused by poor circualation....carpal tunnel stuff. Did you know you could get that in your feet too?

I had the same issue with my thumb and index finger......I got sent in for a nerve test and carpal tunnel test......They told me I had some issue with a nerve in my elbow......However one of my coworkers had carpal tunnel and was denied a workers comp claim.....For some crazy reason they said that typing on a computer all day is not enough to cause it but just aggravate it.....Pretty sad......So if that is the case be prepared for that fight........
