Great, specific and useful. I got injured and before going in I like to inform myself on either terms to use and stuff. Much appreciated, we'll done!
Very educational, I am extremely grateful for this video!
you nailed my symptoms down to the tee including my neck pain
Thank you Dr. for all your information!
Excellent: highly informative.
Brilliantly helpful, thanks
This video is much better than a lot of the other videos on this subject because you actually explain things rather than showing just diagrams. So a thumbs up and thank you :-)
I'm pretty sure I have a problem with the ulnar nerve at the elbow from this and other information I have seen. A very gentle tap on the back of my arm just above the elbow joint can give me the not so funny "funny bone" sensation, which would normally require a lot more of a knock to trigger. I've been referred by my doctor but it's nearly a 6 month wait to see a neurologist for the nerve path tests that you described. It's concerning to me that this will cause muscle wasting as I have very little ability to move my fingers sideways as it is. The NHS at it's best :-(
How. Ru now
Very nice explanation, thank you!
Fantastic explanation! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this useful video.
Thanks Doctor Smith for this good information, actually i had this problem for about two years ago and it's always goes for two or three months, sometimes more and it comes back specially when i am in a bad mood and it can stay hurting me for two three months as well.
What do you think i should do
Great video doctor!
Thank you, very helpful
Thanks Simon. I have the scalloped wasting shape of that muscle you mentioned and weakness. If I need to have surgery will I ever regain muscle strength?
Dr . Thank you so much for this lecture, I have an ulnar nerve compression and EMG shows problem with motor branch, I have lost my abductor muscle and weakness in my hand. I'm waiting my dr final decision. The MRI report not ready yet but the nurse told me I have problem with cartilage damage as well nerve thickening. What do you suggest for my case and can I restore the hand muscles again.
awesome very informative. thanks a lot.
Thank you Doc. I will do further exam with my Dr. It could be Ulnar pain as you mentioned. Not sure if it's tennis or Ulnar because I only get needly prickly pain right at the elbow bone ( olecranon) when my arm is bent and I lay on my side. Dr, do you know for sure or have clear idea what this could be?
What about tricep massaging?
The last 2 weeks to a month both of my arms numbs when i sleep.Basically in all positions. It helps very much to sleep on an incline position though.
When I flex my fist ,my pinky and ring finger kinda stuck for while in this position.
I stopped working out to rest my arms.
I can't figure out what caused it.All my life I was sleeping this way and I never had any pain when I was training.
I do many rowing exercises though.
The interesting thing is that my long heads of the triceps gets sore!
it seems that my long head of the triceps gets involved more in the movements that I keep my elbow straight or isometrically flexed.
Are those things linked?
Is there something else that I can do?
Thank you very much for your content!
I'm equally impressed with your explanation and I passed the pinky finger and thumb test easily. I recently lost significant grip strength so I hope it comes back.
Did it come back?
great info Doc where are you located?
Dr . Thank you.
Can wasted muscles recovered after transposition surgery done
This condition is 2 weeks old for me. It occurred suddenly. It's really annoying. I'm watching videos like this and on nerve sliding. Was hoping for more instant results. I can feel the pressure in my funnybone elbow divit. It causes my forearm to feel tingling from the elbow to the wrist and numbness in the pinky and ring fingers as well as the fleshy part of my palm. I use an elbow brace with rods to prevent bending, but feel soreness by the morning.
Very informative
Fantastic, lucid explanations. I have bilateral ulnar nerve pain at the elbow, and razor blade pain all along the ulnar to the pinky. No tingling or numbness, or wasting but lots of burning sensations. pain at the fleshy part of thumb, and around it, Different waves of pain, 1.5 years but mostly constant. 15+ years computer work. worse with computer/phone activity, keeping elbow bent, leaning hands ulnar side. Also driving hurts.
Saw 3 orthos who recommended decompression. then saw 2 peripheral nerve surgeons, recommended *against surgery, each did their own EMG. 1st: moderate to severe damage, 6 mo later 3 EMGs perfect normal. recent elbow MRI showed swelling/inflm at elbow and above. Tried PT/OT/ergo changes, rest. 3 surgeons say it's psychosomatic/depression causing pain. Yes pain is created in the mind, but this feels very specific, not like fibro or other vague pain. No clue what to do next. Any thoughts?
Great comments. I had the first done 3 months ago. Already had significant muscle wasting in the web of my hand. Dr said the other was not good but caught it early. Had the second surgery yesterday. Like the first I have no pain and do not require pain meds. Glad this is over.
incredibly useful information. I was just diagnosed after taking an EMG and was told that surgery was the best option. Your video gave me a sense of relief that i wasn't being ushered away by my doctor with an amateur diagnosis.
I just got diagnosed with a emg test. I'm curious do you ever get pain on the face of your hand ( opposite palm?)I also get it on tops ( not tips ) of all my fingers. Like someone squeezed my hand and just let's go. Doctors say it's just the 2 fingers ( on the outside) that tingle ,but all mine do. Thankyou!
@@phild9140 I get tingly in all fingers. Also forearm pain and a cold sensation on my hands.
@@hometv6542 have you been diagnosed with cubital tunnel syndrome? My forearms hurt/tingle also. I'm scheduled to get surgery in a month..so hopefully this helps everything . I also get pain in my thumbs.Good luck to you. Thank you for the reply!
@@phild9140 what was your injury if you don’t mind me asking? Trying to see gage if mine is as severe :/ thank you Phil
what was your injury if you don’t mind me asking? Trying to see gage if mine is as severe :/
Hey doctor, would you recommend physical therapy for ulnar neuropathy in the elbow? Cuz that's what I'm starting to do but not sure if it will help it
My MRI Report says “Mild focal T2 hyperintense signal is noted in ulnar nerve at the same level suggesting focal neuropathy”
I have popping sensation in my Tricep while working it in the gym, do I have this syndrome?
Thanks Doc!
awsome video -- thanks man
Hello Doctor Freilich. I hope you can answer my following questions. I have not gotten an official diagnosis but my primary doctors believe that I have this syndrome. I currently have it on both of my arms because I never realized my bad posture. I believe that it resulted from bad postures on the computer and leaning my arms on desks. I never knew the serious dangers of such things. Most of my pain comes from below my elbow and into the forearm, on the ulnar side of my arm, whenever I do most of my usual tasks during the day. That is the same area which I would lean on while on a desk. I have not felt tingling in my little finger or the finger next to it. My little finger is mildly numb throughout the day but most of that numbness did not occur until after I started doing the typical glide exercises. I would like your professional imput to know if I probably have this symptom or not, knowing very well it is my responsibility to follow my own doctor's advice. The results from the conservative treatment you mentioned are very good news and I thank you for the video.
Hi, I'm afraid that you'll just have to get yourself tested. I see all sorts of similar symptoms due to a range of problems. V best, Simon
I got hit with a cricket ball at some speed on the lower part of my right tricep, some months later after going back to the gym I’ve experienced weaknesses at the right elbow in any push movement that engage in, there’s no pain just weakness Any clues to what it might be? A reply would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou.
Thank you for the concise information Dr. Freilich, im locked down out of the uk now and ive had this condition for a month. The local doctors just prescribe painkillers.
Sadly, lots of people in this position whilst medical services are ultra focused with Covid. Fortunately, whilst obviously a pain, it will be treatable once we're out of the immediate lock down but in the meantime, keep all pressure off the elbows and keep it straight overnight. You could try and get some online physiotherapy consultation and exercises in the meantime. Bw Simon
@@DrSimonFreilich wow! I wasnt expecting a reply, i was in appreciation of your video! I will take your advice and try some exercising on it while waiting for things to change. Thanks again.
Can it cause aching forearm? I was told that I have Martin Gruber 2 with decreased nerve volocity. I was told to see my Neurologist
So, how common is it to have a positive history of CIDP and a later diagnosis of cubital and carpal tunnel syndrome?
Thank you doc!
A brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, informative video it was refreshing to watch.
Straight to the matter, and not feeling been "sold a bill of goods". And a great insight into this condition.
It makes it easier for me to go to my GP "armed"with a little knowledge in hand....(please excuse the bad pon😃).
Thank you once again...
I pressed my elbow on my desk playing a game and now My Pink is tingling what do i do besides trying to stop it
yup that's me. Pinky and half of ring finger are constantly tingly, numb and full feeling. And I have atrophy of FDI and topside hand muscles. Thenar is NOT affected. Weird that an EMG and NCV done a few years ago showed herniated c6&c7 along with double carpals but not this. 🤔
I have been lifting weights and now it hurts whenever i pick up something heavy or twist my wrist
Ah, well, don't do that!
I'm doing training and practicing my backfist and igot my elbow pain
@@Tsuk285 I fell down our storm shelter and it hsa like this metal part that is skinny and sticks up so no rain can get in and my ulnar nerve landed directly on it and so i almost died but elbow saved me but with a price
Yes bro I dunno how to fix my wrist and forearm*
And neck*
This video is really explanatory, I think that after I broke my elbow when I was around 7 y.o (currently 28 y.o) I developed this syndrome, but I am not 100% sure if I have other problems in my elbow for the way some nerves span. I would love to be able to send you a video so you can appreciate what I mean so that I can have a first opinion prior consultation with the specialist. I have been waiting for this for so long (coronavirus slowed everything down) and a first direction would be really helpful. Thanks beforehand!
Do you find this arm being weaker than the other arm? I broke mine when younger too and it seems a lot weaker than my right (stronger)
Thank you so much for this wonderfully informative video. I think I have CTS, but it could well be the one you mentioned about the neck. I tried the tests you showed & thankfully, my little finger doesn't budge even when pushed. How do I check if it's from the neck? I have sensation on the forearm (the part close to the elbow)
Do a MRI scan of the cervical spine
@@warzonemoments3970 Ok.
@@ExtremeWays4Bourne how are your symptoms now?
I hit that now I can't squeeze my hand and I have strikes of pain going up my arm
Thanks, doctor you nailed it, you have just described my systems perfectly even down to the muscle wastage in my hand, I went for the nerve condition tests in February 2020 (which was not pleasant) just before the corona pandemic kicked off and have still not heard from my GP, I must chase him up,
do you have constant numbness, tingly and full feeling on pinky, ring finger too?.
@@nng1979 yes all the time
@@Michael-tg5uf now I've got atrophy too.... yay me
I had the beginning stages of cubital tunnel syndrome from doing art work. I used the same approach as I used to get rid of carpal tunnel syndrome: A strong, north pole side touching the skin, therapeutic magnet taped over the affected area with Nexcare tape.
If my CTS starts to act up, the magnet makes the problem go away. Placing two high gauss (strong) magnets at the elbow in the right places also made that problem stop. I have also learned better ergonomics.
I heard of using magnets and how they can work. Thank you for sharing your tested relief story. Much appreciated🙏🏽♥️♥️
Thank you Doctor. just got this and have two numb fingers and claw hand. :/ Extreme burning. 9/10. Going to a Hand Surgeon for a possible transposition. I can't even use my right hand. Been 20 days now...hope it's not getting too permanent. I passed out and fell on my arm. Can't work at all. Surgery will be needed. Hopefully I am one of the 80%. This destroys quality of life. Thanks for the video, Cheers, Harrison
did you get any muscle wasting with your claw hand?
Any updates? Did you get surgery? Did anything fix or cure it? How do you feel?
Got the same problem dude, how long it took to get well?
@@altafidelidad2004 I’m 90% cured now in 3 years. It slowly went away at about 30% per year. The nerve had to regenerate! Amazing all the muscle wasting went away! It’s a long process!
@@harrisonrutledge5 did you have the surgery
I really banged my elbow on a dresser 2 1/2 years ago it really hurt really bad I almost cried. Pain never went away, it’s not crying pain now, just bad irritating pain. I do feel what I thought to me a nerve going to my hand every now and then. A week ago I finally went to my doctor (2 1/2 years later) she said it’s arthritis. Do you think I should have a second opinion? Cuz I don’t believe her. Can this what your talking about also be caused by hitting your elbow bad?
This probably won’t be answered this video is older. Maybe tho lol
Thanks for your sar
I have it on both left and right. Elbows painful when I bend it But I still have strength no numbness just the shooting pain in pinky and pain at elbow. I don’t want surgery as it’s both arms. Anyone help
Hello its me again. So i fixed my cubital tunnel syndrom on my left hand. However, somehow, it happened to me on right hand too. Despite me being causious about having hands on table etc. I wanted to ask few questions:
a) Does the ulnar flossing exercises work even when tests showed that my damage area is ~4cm below elbow (that bone)?
b) Do you have any elbow split recommendation - I've tried like half dozen of them and to this day my fav. option is thicker tower wraped with medical wrap around it. and sleeping on stomach to have the nerve on top side and not lying on the bed.
I've done electro test and in month going for ultrasound or something "new" to see how the nerve works even better. So will have more details, will have to go to PT again, as exercises from last time were I presume more meant agaisnt muscle wasting. Last time it was severe damage, now its between mild to medium more to mild.
How did you fix yours?! I just found out I have it, don’t believe it’s an insane case, and I’d really like to avoid surgery. Any insight would be grateful.
@@illiwill2139 what happen
Hello Doctor Freilich. My main issue of the last few days has been irritation in the muscle at the side of the hand under the pinky (ADM?) Moment's of tingling and warmth but not much numbness. The symptoms are most noticeable when using a mouse for the computer (which I use a lot, sadly). I have extreme anxiety which helps make these sensations worse, I'm sure. Doing the muscle test you showed in this video might suggest it's weak, assuming I'm not over-worrying, while the thumb test you showed seemed nice and strong. The main giveaway for you though, may be the fact that I get these sensations over the back of the hand too near the tendon of the pinky. Resting on the side of the little finger is irritable too. I cannot remember if you said this was more a sign of Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome or Ulnar nephropathy. I have had a habit of banging my fist on my desk in the past year or so when getting stressed or angry at certain things, which I worry might have brought this on. At times I do feel some tenderness in my inner elbow too. Not many of the test stretches seem to make things worse, just mainly putting any sort of pressure on that little finger and the muscle along with it. I also play the violin, and hope that the elbow is not being troubled by the motion of the right bowing arm.
Hi, I sorry to hear that you are having issues, but I don't do internet consultations and cannot answer questions about individual's symptoms for which you should seek local medical attention if you have concerns. Wishing you well! Simon.
Ah, no Worries! I've watched a few video's of your on these issues and I can't remember which video it was in where you said what issue was most likely to cause irritation at the backhand area of the little finger.
Hello! A day ago my sister hit me with her brush on my elbow, and it hurt a lot and I had the feelings on pinky and my ring finger along my arm. Do u know what that means and what I should do
Hazelislit Hi, that's exactly why it's called the 'funny bone'. Usually these feelings go away after a couple of days by themselves. Any concerns beyond this can be discussed with your local doctor. Bw Simon
Yeah! Tell your Sister to stop hitting you on your elbow, with her brush.
THanks!
Thank you
Thanks Chris, I'm based in London. Bw Simon
Hello, are you still answering questions on this video? I know that it is old but what happens if you are experiencing paralysis in the pinking and ring finger? I'm suppose to go have nerve testing done tomorrow on my left arm for this. My ring finger is locking up on me, when I wake in the morning if my hand is in fist I can't straighten the ring finger out without doing so manually which is very painful and when it is straight I can't bring it down.
Can i clear this problem without operation
@@ajaypaithankar6095 Nope.....you must get an amputation. (grins)
@@sonjam.6018 how is your situation right now
@@sonjam.6018 sorry to hear that. 😢
I had the tests that showed the ulnar nerve at the elbow has slowed down, the muscle between my thumb and index finger is slowly starting to get smaller, and now I'm getting pain at the elbow, ring finger and pinky constantly go numb to where it wakes me up every single night, how can this get fixed? or what can be done? I've already tried braces which only help for a lil bit but the numbness ALWAYS comes back to where I now refuse to use any of my glass dishes for fear of dropping them...I've started dropping things which trigger panic attacks...how can I fix this?
Hi, if there's actual muscle wastage then it's probably time to see a surgeon, at the very least for an evaluation. Bw Simon
This video really helped me grasp the anatomy of the elbow and now I know I irritated my nerve somehow. I was at the gym yesterday and felt something move/roll in my elbow. I felt discomfort in my nerve and tingling/soreness symptoms accompanied by a numbness. My partner helped me by pulling the pressure of my arm off of the nerve. Right now it is the morning after and I can still move my arm, though I feel a small amount of elbow discomfort. As long as it doesn’t get worse or happen again, I think I’ll be okay. 👍
i have had the same discomfort for months now. How are you feeling
what happened
Smacked my funny bone really hard a few months back. Now when I slightly press it it slightly starts again.
While doing a diy project using drilling machine my ulner nerve had damaged(inner palm) in Dec 2019... I wasn't able to do much actions Dec 2020(ie almost a year)...but it wasnt diagnosed and still is not...the swelling of plam and neck would occur alterntively...In July 2021 again it reoccured which didn't involve a major activity.....
my hand after being unusable for almost a year...became the same for more thn a month again..and still my hand gets heavy...on mri it didn't show too.
.any exercise or anythinh that I can try....it's my right hand...it gets so bad that I can't evn hold a pen or write.....is the thing permannent ?...or can it be cured
Hi Freny, not sure what to say but I'd be surprised if the nerve itself has been damaged. Alternative problems could be considered with the bones, joints, tendons or ligaments and perhaps a hand surgeon or rheumatologist would be best placed to give an opinion. Bw Simon
Hello Dr. Freilich I'm reaching out today because I'm seeking help for my condition. I have had carpal tunnel release surgery done on both wrists and cubital tunnel release surgery done on both elbows. The carpal tunnel surgery was 12 years ago and has been successful. I still have some nerve damage in my right wrist however it's manageable and at this time I do not believe I need a repeat surgery. Sadly the owner release and transposition surgery did not work as well for me. Before surgery I had numbness and burning pain from my elbow to the tip of my small finger and ring finger in a line that went halfway down to my finger and into the palm of my hand. The EMG tests I had done before surgery did not show any signs of all the nerve compression. However do to my symptoms and feedback to the doctor it was decided we would do an ulnar nerve transposition surgery on both elbows. It is also important that I mentioned that I was having neck pain for a while before my elbow surgery. I went to see a neck surgeon and he said look to your elbows first take care of those and then come see me again if the problem doesn't go away. Currently I'm at the 3-year mark post-surgery. I still have burning pain and numbness on the small finger side of my hand and down past my wrist about 2in into my form and I still have that line in the center of my ring finger that goes down to my palm. It's hard for me to distinguish if I have one or more nerve compression points and whether it's in my elbow my hand a forearm above my elbow where it can be in trapped in the faccia or my neck. Yesterday I had another EMG test my last one was a year ago pair. The test results were negative for any nerve compression. I had the pads put on my forearm and also the second part of the EMG was the actual needles through the skin and into the muscles. What is really confusing to me is they can see the carpal tunnel in my right hand however my symptoms are very light and easy to deal with I sleep with no braces at night on my wrist. I do know when I overdo it and I keep my braces for those occasions where I might need them but I've never had to wear them for more than a week. my symptoms from the ulnar nerve are far far worse and intense and I'm not being seen by the EMG. scans on my next show normal degradation for 51 year old but I can feel a tension in my neck and like a pressure in my neck in around the lower left side and lower to Mid right side of my neck. I don't want to be too long-winded here and I really appreciate your time and I don't expect much in return but it would be great if you could chimed in with your professional opinion. With no EMG report to support my ongoing symptoms what are my options. Can anything else cause these symptoms... Scarring etc...
Thank you in advance for anything you can offer.
Hi, did you get a neck MRI scan? These are more sensitive for detecting cervical radiculopathyy than EMG. That should be the next step. Bw Simon
@@DrSimonFreilich Hi and thank you for your reply. Yes Ive had three MRI scans on my neck in the last two years. It showed the nower keft side and mid right side has some issues... Degradation of the spine. I also had an exray that showed that the curve in my neck is not there... My neck is too straight. Add to that there are bone spurs at the tips of the vertibrae that are clearly encrouching on my spine.
Hi I was waiting to reply as I recently had an EMG exam performed. I was told it is 70% accurate when the conditions are at best. My ulnar nerve is showing no concerns. This test was done with the pads that stick to your skin. The next test was the acupuncture style needle directly into the muscle and that showed no problems in my neck for the ulnar nerve. I am still experiencing quite a bit of nerve pain I have been told that I may have permanent nerve damage however I was doing much better just three months ago I had a flare-up so it'll syrup tells me that I still have a point of impingement that can aggravate the nerve. I'm looking for some advice on how to proceed next as the tester showing I should be good. I believe it would be good if I knew all the common or possible impingement points. Then I could test each point to see where the actual problem lies. Any advice you could offer I would really appreciate. Thank you and talk soon
Could a pinky fracture lead to the elbow pain? When I hit my funny bone gently it causes a shooting pain up my arm, and my my fingers numb, also now I’m just very stressed, cause fuck my life I hate hospitals, doctors, etc, it’s awful, I’m afraid of hospitals why would anyone be comfortable going into a place where everyone goes to die? I’m getting carried away with my anxiety so thank you friend
Does your finger feel like a burning or itchy?
Is there any one who suffered from this and is fully healed? If so ple tell me what you did .
I had a cast for 1 month because of my broken radius loco tipico and on the 18th day they changed the cast and my pinky started to feel numb. When they removed it it was the same and now it’s been 2 days since the cast was removed and i feel pain in my elbow when i try to extend it fully and my pinky is still numb. I am really scared and i dont know what to do
Hi Toni, this isn’t uncommon and usually self resolves but speak to your surgeon about it. Bw Simon
can this cause bruising ?
thanks
I don't have the pain, but I have the weakness. Mine had to have been caused from an IV infiltration near the nerve.
Going to have a nerve conduction, do you think I will get the use of arm and hand back?
Hi Heath, you'll have to wait for the test to get that answer! Best wishes though and hope the answer is in the affirmative, Simon
@@DrSimonFreilich thank you!
I'm having this problem and my orthopedic diagnose me ulnar neuritis.. I am scared to death to do the surgery yet wearing arm string to reduce pain and also taking shincort, lyrica and nsaid
What is the update
Do the muscles lost or wasted regain after the operation uccured of the ulnar nerve injury
Hi, it very much depends on how much wastage occurred, over what period of time, general health factors and age (younger the better). Bw Simon
It is enough for me to touch the funny bone area and I scream in pain - skipped mild symptoms and went one day straight to lose of rotor ability, numbness and claw hand + weakness. My doctor did no test like emg or something, just 'feel tests' like press this, do this. And sent me do some exercises - not much help... I am scared my nerve will 'be pernamently dead/demaged' by the time doctor decides to send me do emg or something. Btw elbow splinting was not advised to me wyth doctor sayng he is scared that nerve would become more pressed. Been 2 weeks now and you said 12 week - do the muscles/nerve not die that fast?
Hi, if you have muscle weakness and wasting then you really need to see an orthopaedic surgeon as soon as possible for a full and proper evaluation. Bw Simon
I did go see a neurology doctor - been attending physical therapy and electrotherapy. Movement ability has improved (stretch fingers apart is lacking most) and grip strength has improved too. The numbness has decreased and is replaced or complemented by pain in the area below pinky - palm (only if pressed ). Other than that I feel my elbow is stiff while doing exercises (from the doctor - not gym). They told me its a long journey but its improving. I hope its true and not some signs of nerves going bad even more. Oh, and I am on some strong B complex in pills and injections.
Does subluxation cause atrophy
does anyone know how often you can do nerve flossing exercises
Im wondering this also. Let me know please!
@@alexklitschko6918 few a day, the more the worse
I've had this for almost 9 years and it's worse than ever. I've tried acupuncture, shock therapy, surgery, physio, everything. Nothing works. It got better after the surgery 2 years ago but now it's back with a vengeance. I have pain in my little and ring fingers, my elbow, not just the medial epicondyle, but the other side too, the boney part of the outside of the elbow. I also have pain in my index finger. I've started wearing a brace at night with no improvement so far. Just want to chop the damn thing off
@D V No, no weakness at all. No burning or prickling. I'm sure it started when I was going to the gym. I noticed I had what appeared to be an artery/vein pop to the surface of my arm on the inside of my forearm, up near the elbow. Ever since then I've had this problem. I've had a couple of ultrasounds to check that and they couldn't find anything wrong. Unfortunately, my gym days are long behind me now.
Does everyone have this of just some people can get get cause I have this but I don’t really know anyone else who does
Loads of people have it! Bw Simon
So I have every symptom it seems but nothing has come up on the conduction tests. Physio now so we'll see.
Same here. Physio isn't helping much either

Sagar Nikam does your hand feel tingling? I hit my funny bone like 2- 1 week ago & I started feeling tingling for like 2 days & I feel a slight pain in my elbow could this be it?
Le Clout I fell on my elbow and for the past week it slightly shocks my hand directing to my pinky when I bend my arm with the palm of my hand facing away from me it’s annoying
I was laying in the fetal position for about an hour and now my elbow feels so uncomfortable. Like I’ve smacked it super hard but the feeling won’t go away. My ring and pinky finger also feel slightly numb. It’s kinda scaring me y’all);

I can’t move my ring or pinky
I have ulnar nerve problem due to leprosy mussle lost and nubness and folded finky finger .Can it reform sir pls??
Hi Sandip, that's a very individual question because it depends on how bad it is, and how long it's been like that for, so I can't answer. Wishing you well though, Simon

Unfortunately not then as regeneration stops after 2 years. Bw Simon
I don't feel very freilich when I hit my funny bone!
I think literally just a week ago, i was getting out of bed but not normally i was like sliding down the bed on my stomach, and i accidentally whacked my funny bone right on my wood bed frame, i think after a few hours i was just playing with a volleyball and just by holding it and moving my hand and wrist in a 90 degree angle, where i hit the bone it was like not really sore but really uncomfortable because it was tingling and all, and it stayed like that for 1 more week and i think it stopped 2-3 days ago.
Same thing happend to me 3 days ago. I feel no pain, only tingling sensation in 4th and 5th finger. I still feel no improvement. What did you do to fix it? When did you feel improvement. And when should i seek a doctor?
Warre i think the reason why it stopped is because after that happened i was still moving my arm because i play volleyball i play with a volleyball every single day so i think that helped it to heal, if it doesn’t heal after a few weeks you should go see a doctor. I started realising it was getting better because every day i would just bend my hand backwards into a 90 degree angle and see if my fingers and the place where i hit the bone were tingling, and just a few days ago i tried doing it and it stopped.
Warre any better man? I hit my funny bone like 1 week ago & started feeling tingling till like yesterday, it sort of feels like a burning sensation I hate it man
@@leclout5284 My situation has improved. Still not 100% perfect, but its doable. You just need te keep stretching it bit by bit. It improved like 1mm^2 every day. I think it will be fully healed when i reach week 2.
And whatever you do, try to reduce the pressure on your elbow by not leaning on it. But dont forget to keep using your arm.
If your situation has not improved after 2 weeks, i would recommend seeking a doctor.
Warre ahh I see appreciate it man , I hit it like on the edge of a wall & it hurt but I thought it wasn’t nothing bad , until yesterday like I said my 3 last fingers middle,pinky, ring fingers all feel like tingling..... have your foot felt this as well? Like the top of your foot?
I slept on my right arm bent and my hand under my temple area and now am having some issues with it. I'm quite strong with a 405lb bench, but this has kept me from the weights for 10 days now. It's quite painful. Full extension of the elbow feels impossible so both pushing and pulling exercises just are a no go. I do feel a bit better with some activity, but it also aggravates the symptoms at the same time. Massaging the funny bone area feels good, but now I'm concerned that could be damaging the nerve more/rubbing it against bone? I'm not sure what to do. I live in a VERY rural area so seeing an orthopedist isn't possible right now. Any rehab type movements you could suggest?
Hi, I'm not a physio so can't assist. Bw though, Simon
@@DrSimonFreilich lol..."I'm not being paid so fuck off"
That's quite an obnoxious comment. It's just not what I am trained to do or advise on. Bw Simon
FPL IS INNERVATED BY MEDIAN NERVE,
FPB is by ulnar nerve
Cold sensation in elbow ?
I have cold sensations in my hands. It’s neuropathy
I am afraid of surgery
This is such a huge flaw in human anatomy - the nerve is completely exposed on the inner side of the elbow and can easily be compressed. I think I got this from computer work by sitting in an chair with armrests.
Take the arm rests off! Bw Simon
why was the thenar muscle discussed. It is not affected by the ulnar nerve but by the median nerve.
Hi, which time point? Bw Simon
@@DrSimonFreilich a lesion in ulnar nerve or lower trunk will cause predominant wasting of first dorsal interossei and hypothenar with preserved thenar as it is innervated by median nerve
@@DrSimonFreilich 3:40
@@ducheau100 Hi, I have looked at that time point and can't see or hear any mention of the word 'Thenar' during the segment on the first dorsal interosseous so have no idea what your referring too. Bw Simon
@@DrSimonFreilich Ok. I thought the muscle between the thumb and the index finger had nothing to do with an ulnar nerve problem. That is my point. That muscle is affected by the median nerve
My wrist is lean
I hit my elbow I went to the hospital and the said I have nerve damage lol
After ulner nerve what to expect
What to expect after ulner nerve surgery ?
Hi Norma. It depends on how bad the nerve compression was before the operation. In general, the worse it is or the longer it's been there for, the outcome is less good. In addition, if there are other health issues such as Diabetes, the nerve may not heal as well. Bw Simon
I am dealing with ulnar nerve subluxation and I don't know the cause and developed it since I became anorexic. What can cause this? Can it be congenital? I don't feel any discomfort. I just feel the pop when I put my finger on it.
Hi, this tends to happen in very thin individuals as there is less subcutaneous tissue holding the nerve in place. Bw Simon
@@DrSimonFreilich What should I do now? What's your advice?
I would suggest that you speak to an orthopaedic surgeon experienced with this. Bw Simon
Sir,you know Indian language hindi
This is just making me panic tbh
Just got my day forked up by a dogs knee and I think in dieing. HELP
Ok I think I just returned...
Please help
Pazania Johnson you still have this issue?
I wish that you weren't in London Dr. Freilich. There is no cure for Cervical Radiculopathy? Degenerative Disease in spine by my neck? Osteoarthritis? My right median is all damaged, and it's caused my full right arm to pain and the only solution to relieve the pain is marijuana. My right ulnar is where most of the pain is coming from, the pain level is always a continuous 7, and near my right elbow hurts all of the time that I had to retire and I'm in my mid 50s., but I got tired of working in pain. The "damage" has also caused numbness and carpal tunnel in right dominant hand and my nerves jam up a lot and I have to literally use my left hand to un-jam my right fingers of being caught up in a nerve hold. I have had this since 12/06/2006. I need medical marijuana and I'm having so many issues.
He's adorable lol
i went to my doctor who is actually a professor, he told me that i should do absolutely nothing, and it'll pass.
Ahmed Jaber did it go away?
The_Dark_Chub it improved a lot, i no longer feel it
