Elbow feels strange

my elbow has felt, for want of a better word, strange for a few weeks. I feel like I’ve knocked it and caught the bone a few times and it’s felt a little itchy. Anyway now there is a visible dimple on my elbow and in that spot it seems like the flesh has gone and you can feel directly to the bone. It’s not painful at all, it hurts a little when I knock it but nothing what you’d call pain. Any ideas? My other half had a look and said I should go doctors but I’m always reluctant to see docs anyway and don’t feel like this is something bad enough to bother them with. Any idea what I might be? I am 50 years old so maybe it’s some menopause thing?

Probs worth seeing physio rather than than GP. You can self refer in my practice

I had tennis elbow and sound similar. Almost numb in a certain spot. If you think of the elbow as inner, middle and outer parts of the joint this is on the outer point.

It's unpleasant. Mine was brought on by exercise (spinning) still flares up now and then. Can buy an epicondylitis support from Amazon.
