If you believe you have dislocated your elbow (there will be large amounts of pain involved, as well) you should immediately see a doctor. Waiting any period of time could result in permanent damage to nerves and tissue.

These ligaments provide strength and support to the elbow joint along with the surrounding muscles or your arm and forearm. If an injury occurs to the elbow joint, any one of these ligaments may be injured.

Is it possible to lick your elbow?

Elbow LickingThis is from Guinness World Records: "Elbow Licking. Contrary to popular urban legend, it is quite possible to lick your own elbow.

If you're one of the rare few who can lick your elbow, save it for the water cooler." It is possible to lick your own elbow.

I hit my elbow and right away my figures got a shock-like numb feeling in my pinky and ring finger and I wanted to know if I popped or punctured a nerve so did I or did something else happen?

If, a day later, your fingers are still numb or tingly, you may have injured a nerve. Usually, though, the nerve is just sending out electrical signals like crazy because of the impact to it, and will go back to normal. Interestingly enough, the nerve that goes to your pinky and ring finger is not the same nerve that goes to the rest of your fingers.
