Hey anyone got recommendations for people dealing with ulnar tunnel (it's basically carpal tunnel but impacting the ulnar nerve) my friend has it and she's basically been left to treat it on her own and while I have some experience with chronic pain myself mine is primarily muscular with a bit of joint pain. She doesn't really know any great stretches for it and is mostly relying on a brace and some topical ointments but the brace has stopped helping as much recently she's an artist and the pain is in her dominant hand so this greatly impacts both her quality of life and ability to make money so advice would be greatly appreciated.
And for today's PSA of the day...

Do you have a dip between the index finger and thumb?
Yes, on one hand
Yes, on both
No
(no hands/see votes)
If you voted "yes", uh, I recommend scoping out "ulnar nerve entrapment", 'cause I found out today there's supposed to be muscle there ASDFGHJASDFGHJDFGH
(I do recommend doing your own research, as I did literally discover this myself less than an hour ago, but in short (and with a grain of salt): other symptoms include pain/tingling/loss of sensation in the ring and pinkie fingers, it's slightly less common than carpal tunnel and is most often caused by bending the elbow too much, and the treatment is "try not to bend your elbow too much" asdfghjsdfg)
When I hit my funny bone
Been advised to contact my GP again on Monday and theyll book me in for physio next week
The problem is
The surgery opening hours all fall within the hours I work next week and I cant book anymore time off
So my options are try to swap shifts and work on the weekend, or put it off another week and go during my actual annual leave

Hello! No need to post this, but because of you posting that ulnar nerve glide guide back in February, I've been able to finally see improvement with an injury I've had for almost a year now. I've been able to write, draw, and play video games again when I thought I'd never be able to to the same degree again, thank you :)!!
AAAAAA THAT'S AWESOME!!!!! I'm so happy it helped you :D
hope you don't mind me posting this, i remembered a few other things I did that I wanted to add on in case they might be helpful for you or anyone else:
"Dixie cup popsicles": this was the other main thing my occupational therapist recommended, besides the nerve glides. You basically just freeze water with a popsicle stick in those little disposable paper cups, then peel the cup off and rub the ice right against the little divot the nerve runs through until it's mostly melted. (Works best over a sink or a towel to deal with the melting ice.) Same principle as an ice pack, just with more targeted application. If you're doing the nerve glides at the same time, recommended to (If you can't find Dixie cups, shotglass-size plastic Solo cups also work, though they're harder to get the popsicles out of since you can't peel them off the same way.)
Rigid brace while sleeping: I usually curl up when I sleep, which also means a lot of unnecessary elbow bending that aggravates the nerve and can be easily avoided by wearing a rigid brace at night. If you're a side sleeper, you may want some kind of pillow to prop the arm up on (body pillow is probably ideal, but I happened to have a big Squishmallow and that also worked okay).
Anyways, huge congrats on your recovery and I hope it continues to get better for you!! Cubital tunnel sucks and I wish more people were aware of it!

This bad boy survived one year of capoeira, acrobatics and gym and didn't deteriorate!!! It even managed to stabilize and shrink a teeny tiny bit!! And while my scar looks like shit it's also doing better!! Holy fuck!!!!!!!!! I don't mind checking on it once a year or so, I mean, the ultrasound and nerve conduction or something to see if stuffs not getting funny again, but it seems it's doing relatively fine after what it's been through π₯°π₯°
Ulnar nerve instability: understanding and relieving elbow problems
- What is ulnar nerve instability? A simple explanation of the phenomenon: the ulnar nerve comes out of its bony canal during elbow movements.
- Why is it important? The consequences on daily life (pain, numbness, weakness).
- Who is affected? Risk factors (sporting and professional activities, trauma).
The symptoms
- Pain: location, type of pain (burning, tingling), aggravating factors.
- Numbness and tingling : In the ring finger and little finger.
- Muscle weakness: Difficulty gripping objects.
- Sensation of electric discharge: When moving the elbow.
The causes
- Anatomy of the elbow: Explanation of the course of the ulnar nerve and its bony canal.
- Risk factors: Trauma, repetitive activities, anatomical abnormalities.
Diagnosis
- Clinical examination: Manoeuvres causing symptoms, Tinel test.
- Complementary examinations: Electromyogram, MRI.
Treatment
- Conservative treatment: Rest, ice, anti-inflammatories, splints.
- Infiltrative treatments: Corticosteroids.
- Surgery: Transposition of the ulnar nerve (various techniques).
