Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that involves pressure or stretching of the ulnar nerve (also known as the “funny bone” nerve), which can cause numbness or tingling in the ring and small fingers, pain in the forearm, and/or weakness in the hand. The ulnar nerve runs in a groove on the inner side of the elbow. ASSH

If you sleep with your arm under your pillow, repeatedly lean on your forearm/elbow (work an office job), bend your elbow for sustained periods (using your cell phone), holding a tool (mouse) in a constant position performing a task, and/or are obese, you are at an increased risk.

Symptoms

Pain and numbness in the elbow, hand, little/ring finger.

Weakness affecting the ring and little fingers.

Decreased ability to pinch the thumb and index finger.

Decreased overall hand grip.

Muscle wasting in the hand.

Claw-like deformity of the hand.

Prevention

Minimize the amount of time you lean on your elbows or keep them bent. If you like to sleep with your arm under your pillow, correct your sleep posture. Make sure your work environment is ergonomically correct. Get a pistol grip/vertical mouse and ergonomic keyboard, and make sure your desk is not too tall for you. Make sure to take frequent breaks from sitting at a desk.

Treatment

Aside from simply avoiding activities that cause CTS, performing Ulnar Nerve glides to stretch out the nerve may relieve pain.

Ibuprofen can also alleviate the pain or numbness.

Surgery should be used as a last resort, but is a simple procedure that has a high success rate.

Workplace injuries can include several types of conditions, including Carpal Cubical Tunnel Syndrome. This injury affects the hands and fingers, causing pain and numbness. This is often the result of completing repetitive tasks or constant pressure placed on the elbow joint. Health-and-Fitness Articles from EzineArticles.com
