You may be suffering from Ulnar nerve dislocation
Ulnar nerve dislocation is a common cause of pain and or prickling sensation that is usually felt down the are and in the hands.
It occurs if the ulnar nerve dislocates slightly (subluxates) over the anterior aspect of the medial epicondyle during flexion and extension of the elbow. A "snap" may be heard or felt.
The ulnar nerve is one of the arm’s major nerves and is part of the brachial plexus nerve system. It gets its name from its location near the ulna bone, a bone in the forearm on the side of the pinkie finger.
It starts in the neck and travels through the shoulder down the arm into the wrist and fingers.
It provides sensation to the forearm and the fourth and fifth finger. It also innervates (stimulates) the flexor muscles of the hand, allowing it to bend and move.
The single most common cause is compression on the ulnar nerve. The compression may be a result of any of the following:
1️⃣ An activity that causes a person to bend and straighten the elbow joint repeatedly (ex. shoulder presses)
2️⃣ The ulnar nerve slipping out of place when the elbow is bent
3️⃣ Fluid buildup in the elbow
4️⃣ Current or previous injury to the inside of the elbow
5️⃣ Bone spurs in the elbow
6️⃣ Arthritis in the elbow or wrist
7️⃣ Swelling in the elbow or wrist joint
8️⃣ Leaning on the elbow for an extended period
In this video, SNU's clinic direct, Ceazar, describes what Ulnar nerve dislocation is, goes over ways you can treat it at home and how we typically treat the injury in our clinics.

Thank you for all the great info you share 💚 May I ask if you know a great treatment for trigger fingers?. My tumb "pops" and slightly hurts!
This video really helped knowledge wise thanks a lot 😊
Strength-N-U does this go away and if so how do you prevent it from coming back. And should I stop doing bicep and trick exercise?
Incredible. How often should I do these?
Do you experience instability at the elbow or just pain? I just got out of surgery for my left arm and im dealing with some issues in my right arm now, I'd really like to avoid another surgery.
great video!
can you do the snap in the wrist? DRUJ?
I have snapping tricep syndrome will doing this help ?
Hey guys, I had a similar problem so I would like to contribute regarding my own experience. I also had clicking in my elbow and noticed it about 15 years ago and only 3 years ago I had surgery in both my arms. In my case it was snapping both ulnar nerve and triceps. They did a transposition for the nerves, but the surgeon chose not to operate on the triceps because it would have been too invasive..since as of now it doesn't hurt and is mostly just uncomfortable.
The nerves are now fine. Although the triceps still snaps, I'm still working out, and I've only limited the exercises where the triceps snaps.
You might wanna check out youtuber Sean Nalewanyj, he had this issue for like 11 years and still has an awesome physique. :)
Where did you do your surgery
I'm 18 and I also have snapping ulnar nerve and which doctor should I see for this??
The tricep extension exercises hurt and pop. Should i still do them?
Hey, I've been experiencing something that is similar but I'm not exactly sure if this is what it is. When doing weight lifting exercies such as pushups, bench press, or shoulder press, the outside of my elbow and the middle part of the top of my forearm (the same side as the back of my hand) will start to tingle. It's not like a hit my funny bone sensation, its more what you described of weird jolt like feelings being sent down the nerve, and they are pretty frequent, although they usually do not go past the wrist. They start at this area in the elbow and continue to the end of my forearm, and it gets to the point where it feels uncomfortable enough for me to stop the exercise, but there is no pain or numbness. This does not really happen during bicep curls for some reason, although it does happen during pullups. I don't necessarily feel any snapping in my elbow either, or at least not that I can notice. This started to gradually occur as I started weight lifting about two years ago, and I have tried taking breaks (a few months at a time) before and the problem has never gone away. Is snapping elbow what I am experiencing, or is it something different? I have seen a health doctor, a physical therapist, an orthopedic, and done a nerve study. The only thing that has yielded even any results was the nerve study, saying that my radial nerve was being disturbed by my muscles (I think that was the diagnosis), but I have not received any guidance on treatment. If anyone has any idea what this is, I am all ears. Thanks
I have the same problem too :((
I have the same issue. If I do hammer curls or pullups I get a nerve shooting sensation from the beginning of my elbow "nook" down the middle of my radial nerve out the thumb, index and sometimes middle finger. The area is sometimes numb. Had it just in my right arm in the beginning, now it has been occuring less and less on my right and my left is taking over. Ive just been "greasing" the grove with light reps over a couple of months.
Facing same issue here while doing any sort of pushing movement I feel a snap in my outer elbow and it's not going away. Does anyone of you have any insights of what helped you or any other thing which might help. Thank you
@@devansh._.69 after a while I just gave up on treatment because absolutely no one seemed to know what it was, slapped on an arm sleeve whenever I go to the gym and it kinda just worked itself out. I still get it but its much less frequent and much less irritating too, so I just live with it, but I noticed an immediate improvement right when I started using the arm sleeve and I never go without it anymore.
@@SnowyPF as in an elbow sleeve is what worked for you? Thanks Fellow gymbro will order one right away, hopefully it'll work. Thank you so much for replying this fast🙏🙏
how many repitions
So I never knew this was a thing. I just figured I had a weird elbow. This has been happening to me my entire life. I've never injured it either. Push ups and skull crushers are painful.
Skull crushers themself are bad for your joints
Mine started when I was on 10th Grade, Im 3rd yr College now, and the snapping is persistent.. I looked online and the fix is surgery lol
Yeah videos like this annoy me it may relieve the symptoms but it will just keep coming back, people need to tell me people straight off the bat that the only permanent fix is surgery so they don’t waste years doing stuff like this over and over
You haven’t found anything that works?? I have had this problem about 5 years and it’s getting really annoying
What is the problem? Is it noise in the elbows during curling motion or pressing ?
@@ahmadelshbasy3222 yep
God is there really no other way to fix this problem? I can't even do regular movements with my arm without feeling it snap everytime and have had to skip upper body workouts for months. It sucks
Sir , the lateral side of my elbow has a snapping without pain pls help me
What happens when your pressing like Log presses, incline presses, skull crushers you hear a poping sound as your pressing? But not with bench presses, nor tricep cable extensions. Also my left arm won't lock out completely. Which causes me to lose points for log presses for Strongman. Any suggestions?
If your left arm won't fully lock then you might have tight surrounding muscles, if you can't lock out during workouts targeting the muscles surrounding the elbow then that should go away a bit after the session, if it doesn't you really wanna release those muscles, try to massage or stretch them, and don't overstretch I guess.
For me it feels bad on push ups and tricep extensions. So I do them wirh limited Rom to avoid snapping and push ups only really wide, so elbows don't have to go over 90 degree. Helped do get it a little better over 2 years and I can workout decently. I'm sure the nerves should be stretched out in daily activities for there health. So surgery won't work in the long term, because the nerve than never get stretched anymore and shortens over time even more. It's too unnatural for the nerve to lay inside the elbow all the time. Ulnar subluxation is not an illness per se, because it occurs in 15% of population. Most don't even notice it. I hope it get even better with avoiding the snapping under heavy load. But when it hurts even in daily activities I understand why people try surgery
Hey i have the same issue dealing with it almost 3 years now what is it called? i thought it might be ulnar nerve entrapment? but i dont feel any tingling or normal nerve symptoms just the click when i extend/flex the elbow joint under load. Do u know whta to do to help it? ive tried nerve flossing but still doesnt go away
So does wide push up prevent the elbow from clicking? I've been trying to get back to push up recently but having a click on every repetition really put me off.
@@uaj7 You can do a half close grip push up, anything that does not involve flexing your elbow to 90°+.
@@Vxneji only solution is surgery
@@dp4advanced234 seems to be the case.
Can someone add subtitle pls? I am from Turkey and I am not understand without subtitles.
My elbows felt so relieved after these
short answer is surgery
is it fine if it kinda clicks but doesn't really hurt?
It's fine but it'll get painful in future
@@binitgajmer323
Yes. the pain will come with time.
@Steven Price
in my case it clicks (snapping) when I do very low push-ups. (When I bend the elbow more than 90 degrees)
Yes, the tendom(or nerve, I don't know which ones is causing the problem) gets stuck on a bone and then comes loose when I lower my body a little further.My English is not very good to explain it better.
hey bud , i have the same issue with me, in both arms they said i had snapping tricep which caused my ulnar nerve to subluxcate , so they did a medial tricep repair along with ulnar nerve decompression, it was done 4 moths ago, i dont feel it subluxate anymore and the nerve is recovering . range is back now working on strengthening, gonna be doing the right hand in about 2 month time
How was it diagnosed bro???
I have bilateral ulnar sublucation too! Im wondering if any muscle imbalances are causin it. I have already done 20 sessions of therapy, I wear splints at night, but the pain persists. Tingling went from 9 to 3/10 but its painful to move my arms.
@Chris Tian the exact same. I've started icing about 2 weeks ago, they feel a tiny tiny bit different, but still. This has been going on for me for about a year and a half now. Coupled with all my other service injuries, I find no joy in pretty much everything.
I believe mine is just very inflamed and too large to sit in the cubital tunnel. Will see soon, just had an mri done.
@@nickgerr1991update?
I’m doing windmills with golfers and tennis elbow KCUF SURGERY
The video states that what snaps is some tendon, which might be perfectly accurate for his case. BUT, the symptoms he talks about match perfectly with ulnar nerve subluxation, in which case it's the thing that is snapping is the ulnar nerve. I've just had surgery for this on one of my arms, it's not going away on it's own or with exercise, it's an anatomical problem.
Basically what I'm saying is please go see a professional and don't be surprised if you need a surgery.
How is it recovering
@@kieransinnott5465 Very well so far! Had surgery a week ago and I'm already taking zero pain killers! My elbow itches though :)
how long was the surgery? Did they cut your elbow open for this?
@@wv7873 Yep. It's called an ulnar nerve transposition, they basically take from the back of the elbow to the front, so it won't snap around the epitrochlea anymore.
@Steven Price it's a very visible snapping in the inside of the elbow. It might even cause numbness or some sort of pain in your ring finger and pinky. Although other things can snap in the elbow(like the medial triceps), which aren't the ulnar nerve.
I got this issue earlier this year. The only solution that works is surgery, which I have gotten on both my elbows. If you put this off, it will damage your nerve everytime it flicks, causing irreversible nerve damage. My surgeon said it will get to a point where moving the elbow is very very painful. Don't put it off, just get surgery.
are you able to lift now?
@@InfamousTVHD Yes, but it only impacts the triceps for me, I have to avoid most tricep exercises such as benchpress or shoulder press
@@dp4advanced234 so basically you got the surgery but still has the same problem. I will pass thanks.
@@dp4advanced234 why do u do that, can u not d do tri???
What is the name of the surgical treatment?
OMG!!! this is happening to me. its happening in the inner side of elbow not outside tho.
Mine in the out side on the elbow how to fix it?????
Get the surgery done but sometimes it might come back like it did to me.
Man wtf is happened to my elbow💀
exactly my fucking thoughts
Is this permanent or can it be reversed?
Did u get any new information?
@Rafael Maniquiz nothing new , just trying to strengthnening the muscles around the elbow and stretching forearms and arms well
@@ahmadelshbasy3222 did you fixed it
@@suleiman4803 did u fix ?
As far as I've heard, it can't be fixed without surgery so :(
i got this feeling today im actually an obese sedentary person and decided to do inclined push-ups every day and then this happens.... its so demotivating cuz I really wanted to start doing pushups, I haven't worked out in years so to know that I somewhat injured myself on my first day of working out is insane
Push-ups may seem like a simple exercise, but the mechanics are really complex. You need to have a good core and scapular strength/stability to exercise it properly. I would highly suggest starting with corrective exercises with a good diet and lots of walking/low intensity cardio, so you can get in shape to do more complex movements.
Mee too brother today itself
you reap what you sow
I got the same thing it was mostly my form that did it try to do the pushup without making it do that
Start very slow and easy .prepare your joints first . Do some arm rotations with bands and other prehab work for a decent amount of time and then progress gradually.
The only way to fix this is to snip the snapping portion of the medial head and translocate the ulnar nerve
Potentially shave down some of the epicondyle
This is cool and might help with some pain, but I don't believe it will solve the issue. I wish it would
Hey! have you had the surgery done yourself? im planning on getting mine in 6 months. Ive had the problem for the past 2 years and i cant train at all anymore
@@pfaded_ Hey why can’t you train anymore I am really curious?
Is it okay to workout with this problem? I've been skipping upper body because of this and idk if i should train or not :/
@@someonefromearth5231 try different hand positions to reduce the snapping, for example on tricep exercised try pushing your elbows a bit forward, backwards, sideways, and ect. It helped me find the safe spot. Same thing goes for other exercises that include the pressing motion. Tho if it doesnt help a bit and youre experiencing serious pains, then i dont know, outside of surgery the problem wont really fix itself on its own.
@@ala4362 yeah sadly I may need the surgery I finally found a video explaining what I have. all the time I thought it was tennis or golfers elbow, or tendinitis.
