Avatar n tn Hi, it is probably ulnar nerve entrapment at elbow leading to tingling in little and ring finger. “Compression at the elbow, known as cubital tunnel syndrome, causes numbness in the small finger, half of the ring finger, and the back half of the hand over the small finger”. Please consult doctor for nerve conduction studies, for more information visit http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar n tn i am experiencing ulnar nerve entrapment in both wrist. i had an emg which stated ulnar nerve neuropathy in the wrist it actually hurts more on the elbow bone.i am feeling short electric burst by the arm and also it feels like a tens unit is on my neck and by the shoulder.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have something that happens to my hands randomly. I can go weeks without it occuring abd it can happen on both hands. I can't really find much info but I think it may be ulnar nerve entrapment but not sure. Here is the picture of mine as I can't find anything anywhere. https://postimg.cc/rR6mR5Yx Thanks for any help!
Avatar m tn Thanks a lot. My ortho examined me and said there is an ulnar nerve entrapment in the wrist. It's actually about exactly the spot where my watch strap would pass on the ulnar side. I just want to know if it is exactly a case of ulnar nerve entrapment. He has given me aceclofenac+paracetamol, vitamin B and oral steroids for 10 days. I am feeling fine but i am worried once i finish the course I would get the pain back.

Avatar f tn My wife has been to 3 hand specialists, 2 EMGs, x ray, MRI and nerve entrapment surgery. She has loss movement in her index finger, middle finger and the ring finger. It’s been 1yr+ and continues to get worse. The EMG says no chance of nerve recovery. But not sure why it is getting worse and no one can identify a root cause. No sudden injury or anything. Should she see a different specialists outside a hand one? Anyone have ideas?
Avatar m tn The doctor that did the surgery ordered a nerve test, the shocks and needles. The neurologist report said I had an entrapment in my elbow and recommended consulting with a neurosurgeon. I did and he recommended elbow surgery before more time passed, in order to prevent permanent damage. After performing the surgery, the surgeon claimed he found nothing wrong with the ulnar nerve and the elbow channel, yet the fingers still tingle.
Avatar n tn Could also be a problem with the ulnar nerve..similar to carpal tunnel but affecting a different part of the hand/arm. It's the nerve that causes that pain when we hit or bump our 'funny bone' When a person has ulnar nerve entrapment, you can experience some forearm pain and tingling/numbness in the 4th and 5th fingers (ring and pinky).
Avatar m tn Did not take the test. I learned that it might be an ulnar nerve entrapment with associated median nerve entrapment. Is there a possiblity of a spontanous recovery and is this just the beginning of a serious problem, It seems that I have been gaining strength in the affected hand over the past few days. Causes of entrapment may have been banging the elbow or overhead pulldowns with a close grip.
Avatar n tn to the point of the shoulder and down to the outside aspect of the forearm.In ulnar neuritis Pain and tingling in the elbow and down the inside of the forearm to the little finger and half the ring finger.Causes may be trauma,arthritis,overuse of part.Treatment depends on cause and includes rest,nerve blocks or surgery.
Avatar n tn The ulnar nerve does not affect the nerves in your arm above the elbow in most cases. The normal issue is a ulnar nerve entrapment when the nerve is actuall pinched in the elbow. The numbness in your shoulder, arm and hand could be due to a nerve being pinched in your neck which is fairly common, but I don't think it would cause any issues with your chest, but I can't say for sure.
Avatar f tn Could this be somthing other than a compressed ulnar nerve? Could I have permanent damage?? And lastly, because of the duration should I seek professional medical assistance?? Thank you for any help!!!
Avatar n tn i lay on my back and i get the palm of my hand numb i cannot sleep as i sleep in the fetal position and the pulsating nerves wake me i had an emg and it stated ulnar nerve neuropathy at the wrist in both hands and l4 l5 radiculopathy.
Avatar n tn US is ideal for dynamic assessment of ulnar nerve subluxation and dislocation, as well as for confirmation of snapping triceps syndrome. Radial nerve, median nerve, and other entrapment syndromes can also be evaluated with MRI. Source: https://acsearch.acr.
Avatar n tn Carpal tunnel, ulnar nerve entrapment, to name a few.
Avatar m tn Due to the superficial anatomical positioning of the ulnar nerve, it is subject to entrapment and injury by a wide variety of causes. It is the second most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity (the first being the median nerve and its branches). The nerve is the largest unprotected nerve in the human body (meaning, unprotected by muscle or bone), so injury is common.
Avatar n tn Hi, probably it is ulnar nerve entrapment. Neuropathy of ulnar nerve leads to these kinds of symptoms as this nerve supplies little finger. Treatment involves pain killers, cold compression etc. “Conservative treatment of ulnar nerve compression is most successful when paraesthesias are transient and caused by malposition of the elbow or blunt trauma. Patient education and insight are important.
Avatar n tn In this syndrome there is ulnar nerve entrapment which causes tingling numbness in the little and ring finger. Other causes can be diabetic peripheral neuropathy or peripheral neuropathy due to vitamin B12 deficiency. Please get your self evaluated by a neurologist. Take care!
Avatar f tn Hello, Numbness and tingling in the ring finger and little finger are common symptoms of ulnar nerve entrapment. Ulnar nerve entrapment can give symptoms of " falling asleep " in the ring finger and little finger especially when the elbow is bent. Some people wake up at night because their fingers are numb. Diagnosed by clinical examination, x-ray or CT or MRI of the hand.Sometimes nerve conduction studies are also done.
Avatar n tn Hi there! Your doctor's considerations on what might be causing your pain are all valid and reasonable. Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause some fingers to go numb and go painful. The ulnar nerve, like what bhups1 mentioned is also a consideration since the ring and little fingers are the one's being supplied by this nerve. The ulnar nerve can be compressed at different points including the spine, axilla, 1st rib, or at the elbow area.
Avatar m tn I have been looking up the elbow anatomy and some ulnar-nerve entrapment info. I think that the ulnar nerve is being affected because I have had some faint numbness in the forearm and tingly pinky finger, but I'm not sure how to fix the elbow. It's as if it's a bit mis-aligned, so when my elbow is bent and then I twist the forearm, I get this loud snapping sound, like a tendon is popping over a joint/bone or something.
