A member asked:

39 year old male - right arm - started as pain, then changing to tingling and is now going numb any time he bends his arm.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pinched nerve: Likely at elbow, causing cubital tunnel syndrome affecting ulnar nerve. See doctor, and get this addressed. An EMG test should confirm.
