My right elbow felt like it was being pinched by something, and suddenly it hurt like a pinprick for a few seconds, what happened?

The right arm was choked by something after the pinprick feeling, this situation is generally neuropathic pain, just the arm was choked by the part of the location of the nerve, so there will be a stabbing pain. Neuropathic pain is due to some kind of nerve stimulation, causing excessive nerve excitation, resulting in pain, pinprick pain for a few seconds does not mean that there is nerve damage, this pain is the body’s self-protection of a reaction, generally can be recovered on their own, without treatment, do not worry too much. If the pain persists or recurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and pay attention to avoid accidental bumps in daily life.
