Possibly ulnar nerve: injury... You hit your inside elbow where the ulnar nerve passes through the ulnar groove in the medial epicondyle. Get an electromyogram/nerve conduction studies (EMG/NCS) to assess for type and extent of any ulnar nerve damage. Your primary care physician should be able to refer you for this test. Based on findings, a treatment plan and prognosis can be made.
