Thanks, i am having a surgerical release. I have severe ulnar nerve entrapment, muscle wasteing in between pointer and thumb, and some along the palm under the pinky, i was having a hard time even sealing a zip lock bag. Middle finger and thumb seem to still have full strength. Cant wait for this to be relieved, i like to use rowing machine, free weights , hit the heavy bag. I have also learned not lean on the left arm at the computer desk and also i always tended to hold my phone up to my ear with the left hand , my job as electrician , also may have contributed, hands bent overhead on a ladder.

Good luck! 🙏

Much gratitude

Thanks for watching.

[@OuterSpaceKate]

Saving this for my upcoming surgery in two and a half weeks 😅😅

[@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami]

Good luck!

[@taraalam9270]

Thank you!

[@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami]

You're welcome!

[@FreddyKurganNimmo]

My pinky & ring finger *on **_both_** hands* have curled downward over the last 2 weeks, and I can't straighten them by their own strength(but I can straighten them by other means). How long until permanent nerve/muscle damage?(I have an appointment to see an orthopedic doctor on August 16th).

[@tenpers]

Thanks for the amazing video! I have a little cubital nerve syndrom but I'd like to work out my arms, still. Do you have any tips to reduce the post work out tigglings?

[@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami]

Thanks for watching. Sorry that you are experiencing symptoms after working out. With my patients, I usually work with them to find out what they are doing that can be causing the compression. Compressions at the particular areas can be due to muscle imbalances. Then I also work with them to figure out the timing because sometimes nerves flare up differently than muscles. If you are working with a PT or OT that specializes in nerve issues, it’s something that you can discuss with them about. Good luck!

[@maryjuarez3207]

Thank ypu so much for such a great information? If l have cubital tunnel release and csrpal tunnel surgeries at the same time; can l still do the exercises you mentioned? Thank you so much!

[@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami]

The exercises are just depending on your symptoms, how you do them, and how you respond. But having both surgeries are common and your doctor or therapist will guide you to what’s allowed and what’s not. Hope that helps.

[@dave6277]

I have an upcoming surgery too. With a hairline fracture that’s healed. And might have a possible carpal tunnel surgery at the same time

[@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami]

Good luck! I’m sure you will do great!

[@JeremyZehr]

I’m nearly 5 weeks out from cubital tunnel release (with carpal tunnel release as well) and I still have stiffness and pain in the elbow. I had tennis elbow at the same time, could that be aggravating it even worse? I’ve been to PT and I am doing my stretches, but should I still be feeling pain?

[@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami]

I can’t speak to your personal case but when I work with my patients, most of the time, they don’t generally have rom problems…but when they do, we do manual techniques to get better motion. If you are working with someone already, talk to them. And if they ignore your concerns, be willing to look for someone who specializes like a certified hand therapist. Be willing to change/pay if you need 🤷🏻‍♀️ Good luck!

[@jbello9398]

How long is the surgery procedure?

[@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami]

Depends on the type of surgery because there’s several techniques but it doesn’t take long generally speaking.

[@bobmarshall6688]

Had both done 3 months apart. Both cubital tunnel ans ganyon's tunnel in my hand. Neither were a big deal. Never needed a pain pill and was back running an in the gym in 3 weeks

[@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami]

That’s great to hear! Glad you had a great recovery.

[@tanus31]

hey! can you update me on hows your gym work going? is it back to normal weight or are you still in rehab weight

[@chrisfree9]

What about steroid shot. Do you think that helps with cubital syndrome at all?

[@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami]

I don’t normally see injections for cubital tunnel. The nerve is very superficial and there’s a big risk of injuring the nerve itself. Therapy is very effective when you go to the right person. If that doesn’t work, most people try surgery.

[@chrisfree9]

@@HandsOnTherapyServicesIncMiami thank you for the reply. I am in the army and the doctor is suggesting I get the steroid shot to help with the pain, kind of scared to
