I've had cubital tunnel syndrome, which is another name for more or less the same thing. There are several threads about it on the AGF you can search for. I've had it mostly on the left arm, with tingling initially and permanent mild numbness on the pinkie finger. No pain.
I bought a simple soft velcro-attached elbow brace that kept me from folding my arm up while sleeping, and I kept the pressure off the "funny bone" region while sitting at a desk and while driving (keeping my arm off the armrest). It got somewhat better. I did have PT but it helped only marginally.
