A member asked:
Strange recurring sensation just above my left elbow. no burning or pain, just the feeling that something's brushed the skin, but nothing's there. ?

Paresthesia: This is likely a subcutaneous nerve that is "firing" which is causing this sensation. This is not unusual at all and will likely go away on its own. Some medications can have this side effect, but this is not dangerous.
