An uncle of mine had fallen off the roof and I managed to grab his arm to catch him and brace my body in the process I managed to pull my elbow out of the socket and it caused the nerves around the joint to subflax. Ever since then I have had a case of cubital tunnel syndrome. I let it go by without getting it checked on and apparently my nerves have suffered damage causing issues with my arm and how it functions. Long story short my arm from the shoulder down has suffered muscle atrophy from my nerve being compressed in my elbow.
