I sleep on my arm outstretched under my head. I am having a tough time finding a comfortable way to sleep. But I have a feeling this is being caused by my sleep habits
@@akshayhadawale9696 So far I recovered. Whenever I use my left/right hand I make sure not to put pressure on my elbows so I tend to sit while using my phone and ,when I'm laying down I prevent putting pressure on the nerve on my elbow so I kinda tilt it a bit and putting pillow or soft cushion help. Make sure you know which part of the nerve is damage it's either on the shoulders, neck and elbow this is where most part the damage occurs so try to determine which area. There are exercise on the UA-cam that well help you determine which part is damage then do less pressure on them and let it rest for some days. If it's in the nick or shoulders probably on your sleeping positions try to adjust. And I constantly do some stretching, before I sleep and in the morning there are some videos on UA-cam for that. Good luck I hope you recover soon. And of course check with your doctor numbness might also cause by other underlying diseases such as diabetes or mild stroke but with our situation right now doctors might not be available. Sorry for my bad grammar English is not my first language. I hope I help you out.
@islanti i got 3 days ago. My pinky fingers is so hard to move now, my elbow is very sensitive and when add pressure it's feels like electrified. Last night was the worst attack of the pain. It's feels like I pushed up to my limit and the most affected is elbow, forearm and biceps. Even my pinky fingers feels tingly. I read in Google. Don't be so foreful in it or you might get it into more bad condition that will result into surgery.
Thank you so much.. You docs are great... it is horrible condition and the worse is you forget to continue excercises as soon as it alleviates only to come back
You guys are seriously the best. Man, I wish I had this years ago! For years my doctors thought my symptoms were just tendonitis in the wrist and elbow. Been going to a specialist a lot this year and now I am finally figuring out that cubital tunnel syndrome is probably the problem.
Wake up Goofy You will have to ice it and let it heal. When lifting make sure you do as much external rotation as possible and use a pronated grip whenever possible. Go follow athlean-x. That channel is a gold mine.
@@wakeupgoofy8195 like they said, you don't wanna irritate the nerves, so you need to stop whatever activity that triggers that tingling. You need to let it heal or else it'll just get worse overtime.
Finally! Cubital Tunnel Syndrome! I cut hair with my right dominant hand. But my left outside wrist gets really sore so that I drop the hair I am holding to be cut. It has been worsening. A wrist brace/wrap has not really helped. I knew it wasn't carpal tunnel or tennis elbow. Now I know - THANK YOU!! My other issue is that I cannot walk my dogs anymore due to Morton's neuroma. Can you offer any help for that?? And finally, you guys are great. And polite - don't see that much theses days!! You are also kind and funny. What a great pair - stay great! God bless you!
Thank you Bob and Brad! You guys are my personal heroes. I've been following your advice and my symptoms have improved immensely. Rock on with your bad selves. :)
you guys saved me a trip to the doctor plus time and money - thanks so much!! The techniques are working and I really appreciate you putting it out there!
Once again you guys are the best ! I've struggled with pain from my elbows for almost two years. I figured it was from leaning at my desk and typing / cell phone use. Pregnancy carpal tunnel did not help! Theres like a little ball in between each elbow in that space and when it flares up it's a bad time. Now I am staying home with my twin boys and I've had the worst flare ups yet having to carry and burp 2 babies ! I know I should have gone to the doctor's but just never got around to it 😩 I will do these exercises it keep it at bay! Thank you !!
Numbness at tip of ring finger was gone within 2 minutes of starting the video. Thanks so much guys. Scary symptom! Tip of finger was 95 percent numb!!!
Wow, thank you both for this very informative video! I literally did the elbow finger roll test and I could feel shooting pain sensation in my pinky and ring finger.
I love you guys. Surprisingly over the last couple of years I find myself coming back to your videos, for different issues (glad to be subscribed!). Always very helpful
You two are awesome, great information, I have horrible pain in my neck but also I pass the elbow tests. I lean on this elbow a lot in my work and I think that is how I got it. Love to you...Love to all...Kim
You guys rock! I always watch your videos as they're so informative and helpful. I've suffered from CTS for years now for about 6 months it had gotten a lot better. However, last night just before going to bed I had a flareup and just couldn't sleep cause my left pinky was numb. I tried some of the exercises you mentioned as I had previously heard about them and it helped soothe the numbness a bit and I was able to fall asleep. I will be trying the exercises you guys illustrated on this video and I'm sure that'll help. Thank you so much!
thank you so much for this video! I have been having the symptoms for weeks and thought it was Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Now I know what to avoid. Very informative :D
Your videos are so entertaining and full of information. I have had three operations to correct cubital tunnel syndrome, the third being a submuscular ulnar nerve transposition. Having said that, you guys explained this condition better than three ortho surgeons did. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Thanks guys, I needed this! After my fatal dirtbike accident, this started happening. Pops really back, can feel it up into my shoulder when I do the wrist rotation along with moving my shoulder as well.
Thank you so much Bob & Brad for these wonderful tips! you guys are life savers! I try to help people with car issues on my channel but when I have a problem, I come to you guys. I think I have a Cubital Tunnel issue so I'm gonna be trying these techniques and I hope I can get some relief. Thanks again, I really appreciate you guys and this channel.
You can have both Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and a Herniated Disc at the same time. A herniated disc can cut the flow going down to the cubital tunnel making it difficult to recover after repetitive use, cell phone, elbow flexion when sleeping etc.
You guys are the best. Thanks so much! Elbows and hands are sore during the day, and waking up multiple times every night with tingling and numbness to the point where I can't feel my pinky fingers at all, even when I squeeze them and dig my nails into them. Here's hoping this works for me!
Thank you for the in-depth information. I am a physician myself and I have been suffering from this for almost 5 years now. If you are interested, I will keep you updated on whether I experience any relief with the exercises you presented.
Thanks guys. I have spent the last two weeks leaning on my elbows and when i wasn't i was "resting" on my forearms right around the elbow right where the nerve is with some body weight. I didn't feel any symptoms while doing that but when i was lying in bed watching a video from my phone and i had my elbow bent all the way and my wrist twisted holding the phone for 40 minutes, when i released the position i got accute pain in my forearm. And before that i was using my phone for 4 hours with my elbow bent :) Thanks to you two i now know how to fix this and be aware not to over stress the nerve again in the future!
wow.. this video explains the shooting pain from wrist thru baby finger/,ring finger. I got this from propping myself up after major lumbar surgery. Wish i knew in advance .
I thought I had carpal tunnel, but I watched your video about that. You guys mentioned it's not typical to have numbness in the pinkie, so I think I might have this. Thanks for the video.
Could you please do a video on radial tunnel syndrome vs tennis elbow? Also a whole video on radial tunnel syndrome itself. Thank you! You guys are absolutely great.
Thank you very much. I am headed for surgery because my cubital tunnel syndrome is so bad. Been doing bracing and exercising for months. Losing function of my hand, so it must be addressed. The only thing I haven’t tried is massage. Thank you so much for this information.
I'm currently waiting on a surgery date for this...my ulnar nerve is entrapped in my wrist amd elbow! I had carpal tunnel release done 3 years ago and I would take carpal tunnel pain over cubical tunnel pain any day!
I came straight for this because I am getting PT for biceps tendinitis and lately my elbow has been slightly sore. I am a phone call RN- have been doing phone calls for surgery patients for over 2 years and am sure that is how I messed up my L shoulder- elbow. Came to get on top of cub. tun. syndrome. So glad I did. I do use a headset now for several weeks.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I just had a cubital release done on Thurs last week, so 4 days ago, because of Ulnar neuropathy, but I also have a herniated disc in my neck, 4 of them in fact, and before my surgery was done they had to do a cool test where they sent electrical signals from my fingers through each nerve to narrow down which area of my body is causing the symptoms, the spinal nerves or the ulnar nerve itself. Luckily I live in Canada and have a rare neurological disorder so I already have a neurologist and there was no wait time involved for me, but for those who are not as lucky, I just wanted to say my doctors did these 3 tests you guys described as well as the fancy one! So just some more confirmation that you are awesome :)
@@SPACEMONKEY_Y Its amazing! It took some time for the muscles to get strong again, as they ended up needing to sew the nerve on the outside but, its better than I remember it being since I was a young teenager!
@@brisetta that is great. Im happy you finally got relief in it. I'm scheduled to take the same electric test you described in your post. I've had pretty bad Tendinitis in both my elbows and right wrist for nearly a year now. My orthopedic thinks it's progressed to cubital tunnel in my left elbow hence the reason for the test. So if it comes down to it, I could be getting the same surgery as you.
@@SPACEMONKEY_Y I had the symptoms for about 5 or 6 years before I even realized there was something which could be done about it! And then I waited another 4 or 5 years because I was nervous, but now that I have had it done, I wish I had done it much sooner! I hope that you are able to find the same relief as I was!!
Thank you for the informative talk about cubital tunnel. I am scheduled for surgery in two days due to loss of feeling as well as severe muscle atrophy in my hand due to this condition. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery. No “bones” about it!🤣
I am suffering from the same thing Loss of feeling and muscle atrophy. Can you please tell me how the surgery went and have you regained any muscles in your hand? Thank you
I can't tell you how much this video saved me. I would wake up in the middle of the night to an intense pain/ burning on the inside of my elbow and it burning went down into my ring finger which felt numb but a painful numb if that makes sense. I almost threw up a couple times. No matter what I did it wouldn't calm. It felt like I hit my funny bone but that pain wasn't go away. I was looking for information online and narrowed it down to having a pinched nerve. Your video came up when I was about to wake my husband to take me to the ER. I tried ice which was the WRONG thing to do. I tried splinting it straight again wrong move. When I seen your video and the tests to tell where the origin was and that s slight bend and support would help. It finally calmed and hasn't flared again but my fingers ache and I have a shooting pain from up near my shoulder ask the way to my pointer finger.... I'm just a mess!!
I recently moved back home. My mattress is on the floor and for the last 4 months I have spent hours upon hours leaninging on my left elbow until sometimes it goes numb then I change positions. There's really no comfortable way for me to play. At least now I'm almost certain I'm not having early stroke symptoms.
I had a work accident at June 24 where I fell through ceiling and landed on trusses.my right arm took my full weight and the forearm to my right shoulder and neck is where I experienced most pain. This incident has flared up existing symptoms from years ago and also I know am suffering with weakness to the arm and consistent pain at elbow and wrist.
Got alot of neck trouble so they were convinced it was all coming from my neck. But I do believe there is something wrong with my elbows. Finally got a doctor to listen. Go for my nerve test next week. Hopefully they can figure out what's wrong. Went from extremely physical to not being able to anything for the past 7 months.
So my pain hurts my pinky and ring finger and shoots into my elbow and into my neck and shoulder. It’s so bad sometimes. Two days ago I got it so bad and also in my wrist and middle finger. Horrible pain
@@BobandBradHelp and more information on how I can better control my body like before. I was a normal guy and was able to run & jump before my car accident
I have done the exercises and it gets better then bad several times now it's just bad. I do also have severe neck problems and chiari malformation surgery
this video helps. my arm hurts. i cant even do that batman finger mask thingy. now i know that my hunch is right. also, please tell me that i have to do it really slowly at the start of your practical explanation, cause i already hurt myself when you reached to the point where you actually warns people not to do it that way
I've recently started to lift weights, and oddly enough, I started feeling my left elbow get REALLY tight when I do squats. Anyway, I'm a side sleeper and just this morning I woke up with the 2 finger numb. I stretched and my shoulder popped and the fingers regained their feeling.. whoa.. lead me to your channel AGAIN. You guys helped me with BPPV Epley Maneuver, I thought I'd see if you had anything on this. BAM.. Thank you all for your videos. (new subscriber now). so the question is, Can someone totally heal from this?
Thanks guys - I've been battling this for almost 3 months, no one's been able to figure it out. Argh! I think I did though. I work at a computer all day, have for years. I carry a bag on my left arm that weighs about 10 lbs, daily - laptop, books, papers, etc. In the crook of my left arm. I've also had shoulder propblems from sleepin on my side., Inuprofen and ice help, but I need to get rid of this so am following your suggestions, My main problem is hand tremors. Have had some weakness, pain, hot/cold in those fingers. Of the 3 tests 2 are positive. Going to get extra pillows and stop sleeping on my side. Thanks.
Sorry to hear you are dealing with this. Hopefully this helps. We also have other videos you can try as well! Thank you for your incredible support! Every view, like, share, and subscription allows us to keep creating helpful videos and making a difference. We truly couldn’t do it without you!
I had to have surgery even though it’s in my neck. I’ve already had neck n right rotator cuff surgery. Spine doctor recommended release nerve from elbow due to scar tissue in neck.
Is it possible that I have this? I have no pain but I do wake up with very tingly hands as if I had a deep bone itch in my right hand. and my hand feels weak during the day even though it isn't weak?
this is great information and demonstrations. the forearm massage gives me instant relief. been having this issue for 8 days now, i was resting my tricep on the rim of the bathtub while i took a bath and when i got up this started.i hope the tingling in my pinky and ring finger go away soon being a student its hard to write with just one hand.
What about pain on BOTH sides of ebow?? It started on the outside and has moved to the inside. 😢 And flexion in my wrist or pinky and ring fingers cause dorsal forearm pain.
You guys are the best! I've been having this problem from holding my cell phone in front of my face too much. The first thing I thought of was I should check what the most famous physical therapists on the internet have to say about this. I'm definitely going to take your advice. Thank you Brad & Bob (wanted to be sure Brad knew that sometimes he can come first since he may have been coming second since he was a child)!
For anybody dealing with this problem. It is going away if you do nerve exercises. if i extended my arm 3 months ago, it would snap in the elbow and fingers. 3 monts later and have 1 procent of this. Probably 1 more month and its compeltly away. i will edit it over one month. Edit: The last time i had a snap was a week ago
Hi guys ty for video I had elner nerve and elbow surgery im a corrections officer and tackled an escapee and landed wrong fractured my elbow and destroyed my elner nerve been almost a yr since surgery but im still in same pain since surgery burns around incision and to my fingers can't even tap my funny bone without severe pain I think took piece of my bone out and tucked my elner into muscle id have to read all my papers so when I go back to fighting again at work.
9:00 I have it in both arms, physio said use a splint but I have no one to put the second one on... Will the pillow method do anything for severe ulner nerve entrapment?
I feel this in both of my arms since yesterday morning when I decided to do some pushups without warming up also I always feel my neck being strained and I can never find a good ppsition to relieve the pressure on it while im sitting up straight
You guys are hilarious! The laughter you gave me eased the pain, especially the "looked it up in my book" part! I'm a freelance web designer, is my career toast? I love my work also, sometimes can do work marathons, I loose myself in concentration for hours...will I be able to keep using they keyboard?....😢
I can’t move the tips of my pinky and ring finger. Is this one of the symptoms? I accidentally hit that nerve really hard on a surface. My pinky and ring fingers had a tingling sensation for a few hours after that. Now I can’t move the tips of those fingers.
Thank you so much guys. I have been awaiting a nerve test for about a month now. Got about a week until my appointment to confirm what is going on with my nerve. But I'm sure that it's cubital tunnel syndrome. Thank you so much for your information! I've been in a lot of pain but I feel really hopeful thank you for your help. P.S. I used to be a Vikings fan, now I'm a Packer fan.
5:23 in you touch your elbow and say it's the acromium. Did you mean to say olecranon or were you referring to something else entirely. Not just trying to catch you on one mispoken word! Legit trying to learn something! Great channel. Kinda funny... ;-) Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
would like to see a video on suggestions for a work station set up to prevent CTS. That would be awesome!! I'm a journalist and use my DSLR, keyboard, cell phone, A LOT for my work. Any suggestions for a work station (keyboard, seat or standing) would be awesome!
Thank you I really like watching your videos on every topic. My primary doctor don't even know what to tell me when I go in to see him but this video has helped a lot I'm pretty sure I have a pinched nerve I've been telling my doctor that for years tingling in my pinky and now I have this syndrome which really hurts cannot bend my fingers at times lost my grip I really do believe it's my sleeping positions I wake up with my hands under my head
My middle 2 fingers (especially) have been irritated with numbeness and tingling for several years. I have had carpal tunnel surgery and a "fat flap" surgery to that right hand and nothing has worked so far. I am back at square one. PLEASE HELP!!!
My elbow bone hurts , and the upper arm gets tingly. No tingling in my fingers. At Times The elbow bone is painful. Do I have golfers elbow or Crll phone elbow
I sleep on my arm outstretched under my head. I am having a tough time finding a comfortable way to sleep. But I have a feeling this is being caused by my sleep habits
The professional, positive and even entertaining approach of these two guys is greatly appreciated. I wish my doctor was like that.
Being in quarantine with only my phone for entertainment could be the causes why I have this now...
is it gone ? how are you treating it ? i too have it from past 10 days

And then I waited another 4 or 5 years because I was nervous, but now that I have had it done, I wish I had done it much sooner! I hope that you are able to find the same relief as I was!!
@@brisetta thanks!
You guys are the absolute best! Thank you so much. The last exercise really alleviates all my pain.
Thank you! Glad that we could help take away your pain! :)
update?
Update?
Thank you for the informative talk about cubital tunnel. I am scheduled for surgery in two days due to loss of feeling as well as severe muscle atrophy in my hand due to this condition. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery. No “bones” about it!🤣
how it went?
I am suffering from the same thing
Loss of feeling and muscle atrophy.
Can you please tell me how the surgery went and have you regained any muscles in your hand?
Thank you
What about if the nerve pain is further up on the nerve like inner bicep to forearm along that nerve? Burning and numbness.
I have this..started in both arms overnight..going on 4 months now
Thank you, will try this, I have been in a lot of pain.
Thank you guys. I'm experiencing it right now this video of yours really help!
This was very helpful. Thank you so much for the information and wisdom
I can't tell you how much this video saved me. I would wake up in the middle of the night to an intense pain/ burning on the inside of my elbow and it burning went down into my ring finger which felt numb but a painful numb if that makes sense. I almost threw up a couple times. No matter what I did it wouldn't calm. It felt like I hit my funny bone but that pain wasn't go away. I was looking for information online and narrowed it down to having a pinched nerve. Your video came up when I was about to wake my husband to take me to the ER. I tried ice which was the WRONG thing to do. I tried splinting it straight again wrong move. When I seen your video and the tests to tell where the origin was and that s slight bend and support would help. It finally calmed and hasn't flared again but my fingers ache and I have a shooting pain from up near my shoulder ask the way to my pointer finger.... I'm just a mess!!
Aren't you Gillian Anderson's daughter?
How are you now...
I recently moved back home. My mattress is on the floor and for the last 4 months I have spent hours upon hours leaninging on my left elbow until sometimes it goes numb then I change positions. There's really no comfortable way for me to play.
At least now I'm almost certain I'm not having early stroke symptoms.
I had a work accident at June 24 where I fell through ceiling and landed on trusses.my right arm took my full weight and the forearm to my right shoulder and neck is where I experienced most pain. This incident has flared up existing symptoms from years ago and also I know am suffering with weakness to the arm and consistent pain at elbow and wrist.
This is literally so helpful thank you so much!
Got alot of neck trouble so they were convinced it was all coming from my neck. But I do believe there is something wrong with my elbows. Finally got a doctor to listen. Go for my nerve test next week. Hopefully they can figure out what's wrong. Went from extremely physical to not being able to anything for the past 7 months.
Thank you both of you
So my pain hurts my pinky and ring finger and shoots into my elbow and into my neck and shoulder. It’s so bad sometimes. Two days ago I got it so bad and also in my wrist and middle finger. Horrible pain
Appreciate this great video. Anything on people who are not able to run and jump? I had a car accident 2years ago and I want to be informed
What exactly are you looking for?
@@BobandBradHelp and more information on how I can better control my body like before. I was a normal guy and was able to run & jump before my car accident
I have done the exercises and it gets better then bad several times now it's just bad. I do also have severe neck problems and chiari malformation surgery
this video helps. my arm hurts. i cant even do that batman finger mask thingy. now i know that my hunch is right. also, please tell me that i have to do it really slowly at the start of your practical explanation, cause i already hurt myself when you reached to the point where you actually warns people not to do it that way
Can we get an updated video on this??
Nice video. Did these for baseball because the nerve was bothering me when I threw.
I'm getting the pain down to my pointer finger passing through outer elbow and getting relief from rubbing the top of my forearm...
I've recently started to lift weights, and oddly enough, I started feeling my left elbow get REALLY tight when I do squats. Anyway, I'm a side sleeper and just this morning I woke up with the 2 finger numb. I stretched and my shoulder popped and the fingers regained their feeling.. whoa.. lead me to your channel AGAIN. You guys helped me with BPPV Epley Maneuver, I thought I'd see if you had anything on this. BAM.. Thank you all for your videos. (new subscriber now). so the question is, Can someone totally heal from this?
Ive been lifting weights for awhile. I defs have this god damn hope my nerve didn't pop over the bone
Thank-you for such a thorough explanation with recommendations
Glad it was helpful! Brad
Thanks guys - I've been battling this for almost 3 months, no one's been able to figure it out. Argh! I think I did though. I work at a computer all day, have for years. I carry a bag on my left arm that weighs about 10 lbs, daily - laptop, books, papers, etc. In the crook of my left arm. I've also had shoulder propblems from sleepin on my side., Inuprofen and ice help, but I need to get rid of this so am following your suggestions, My main problem is hand tremors. Have had some weakness, pain, hot/cold in those fingers. Of the 3 tests 2 are positive. Going to get extra pillows and stop sleeping on my side. Thanks.
Sorry to hear you are dealing with this. Hopefully this helps. We also have other videos you can try as well! Thank you for your incredible support! Every view, like, share, and subscription allows us to keep creating helpful videos and making a difference. We truly couldn’t do it without you!
I had to have surgery even though it’s in my neck. I’ve already had neck n right rotator cuff surgery. Spine doctor recommended release nerve from elbow due to scar tissue in neck.
Can you please do video on arthrosis from C2-T7 and lower back from L1-L5 how to manage this. Thank you
Is it possible that I have this? I have no pain but I do wake up with very tingly hands as if I had a deep bone itch in my right hand. and my hand feels weak during the day even though it isn't weak?
this is great information and demonstrations. the forearm massage gives me instant relief. been having this issue for 8 days now, i was resting my tricep on the rim of the bathtub while i took a bath and when i got up this started.i hope the tingling in my pinky and ring finger go away soon being a student its hard to write with just one hand.
how are you now? did you find anyway success to get rid of this?
Thanks guys - I love your channel and this is a big issue for me
What about pain on BOTH sides of ebow?? It started on the outside and has moved to the inside. 😢 And flexion in my wrist or pinky and ring fingers cause dorsal forearm pain.
You guys are the best! I've been having this problem from holding my cell phone in front of my face too much. The first thing I thought of was I should check what the most famous physical therapists on the internet have to say about this. I'm definitely going to take your advice. Thank you Brad & Bob (wanted to be sure Brad knew that sometimes he can come first since he may have been coming second since he was a child)!
Is there another nerve on the other outter side of the elbow? That's where my pain for 3 months now is.
For anybody dealing with this problem. It is going away if you do nerve exercises. if i extended my arm 3 months ago, it would snap in the elbow and fingers. 3 monts later and have 1 procent of this. Probably 1 more month and its compeltly away. i will edit it over one month.
Edit:
The last time i had a snap was a week ago
Rodi The don can u update mate I’ve just woken up with this and it’s been on and off and my elbow is the same mine would sometimes snap as well
@@mattyrowe7731 its gone but i still do the exercises everyday to be sure
@@mattyrowe7731 im 15 btw how did you get it? I think i got it nu lifting heavy weights
Rodi The don same I think I’m 14 as well I’ve had the worst week of my life I can’t sleep at all because of it

Thank you guys so much I've had a bad flare up now for about 6 weeks and even cortisone in my a wrist isn't helping.

Love the ulnar nerve glides. It is helping me already.it is very simple to do. Thanks Dr Jo
9:00 I have it in both arms, physio said use a splint but I have no one to put the second one on... Will the pillow method do anything for severe ulner nerve entrapment?
Thanks Bob And Brad. 😊
Suffering from this since >2 years. The pain and numbness are moving from little finger to front arm and right side of my neck!
I feel this in both of my arms since yesterday morning when I decided to do some pushups without warming up also I always feel my neck being strained and I can never find a good ppsition to relieve the pressure on it while im sitting up straight
Thank you so much with love from Iran
Bless you both for this!
You guys are hilarious! The laughter you gave me eased the pain, especially the "looked it up in my book" part! I'm a freelance web designer, is my career toast? I love my work also, sometimes can do work marathons, I loose myself in concentration for hours...will I be able to keep using they keyboard?....😢
Did your situation ever heal?
All my symptoms point to the cubital tunnel but there's swelling on the outer right part of my elbow opposite of the nerve side.
I can’t move the tips of my pinky and ring finger. Is this one of the symptoms? I accidentally hit that nerve really hard on a surface. My pinky and ring fingers had a tingling sensation for a few hours after that. Now I can’t move the tips of those fingers.
Did you go see your doctor?
wonderful explanation. thanks.
Thanks for the great video and exercises and straightening technique. Also who is the Packer fan or Viking fan see these items on shelf behind you.
How can get rid cubital tunnel syndrome?
Thank you so much guys. I have been awaiting a nerve test for about a month now. Got about a week until my appointment to confirm what is going on with my nerve. But I'm sure that it's cubital tunnel syndrome. Thank you so much for your information! I've been in a lot of pain but I feel really hopeful thank you for your help.
P.S. I used to be a Vikings fan, now I'm a Packer fan.
are you ok now, how long it took to recover
My ulnar nerve is being compressed at my neck. I'm at a loss as to what to do :(
Are there any pressure points that will help reduce severe pain from the ulnar nerve starting at the elbow to the hand?
5:23 in you touch your elbow and say it's the acromium. Did you mean to say olecranon or were you referring to something else entirely. Not just trying to catch you on one mispoken word! Legit trying to learn something!
Great channel. Kinda funny... ;-)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
So we often hear about how the ulnar nerve affects the hand, Could you please speak to how it also affects the upper arm and shoulder?
would like to see a video on suggestions for a work station set up to prevent CTS. That would be awesome!! I'm a journalist and use my DSLR, keyboard, cell phone, A LOT for my work. Any suggestions for a work station (keyboard, seat or standing) would be awesome!
Thank you I really like watching your videos on every topic. My primary doctor don't even know what to tell me when I go in to see him but this video has helped a lot I'm pretty sure I have a pinched nerve I've been telling my doctor that for years tingling in my pinky and now I have this syndrome which really hurts cannot bend my fingers at times lost my grip I really do believe it's my sleeping positions I wake up with my hands under my head
My middle 2 fingers (especially) have been irritated with numbeness and tingling for several years. I have had carpal tunnel surgery and a "fat flap" surgery to that right hand and nothing has worked so far. I am back at square one. PLEASE HELP!!!
We are very sorry to hear that!
