Ulnar neuropathy: The ulnar nerve is the "funny bone nerve" and passes through a groove in the elbow. Even if your injury was years ago, there may have been a change in the anatomy that caused the ulnar nerve to be more susceptible to injury. Elbow pads would be one simple treatment option. Consider seeing a neurologist and having an EMG test to see if the nerves are healthy.
