[@cachi-7878]

I’ve been dealing with ulnar nerve issues for a few months now and did do a bunch of nerve glide exercises. The pain was always at the elbow but has stopped completely more than a month ago. Just five days ago, I started having a throbbing pain on the palm side at the base of the pinky finger and it hurts as if I had hit my thumb with a hammer. Sometimes the pain keeps pulsating even when I go to bed and am not moving. Really debilitating and maddening! I was sleeping with a brace to prevent bending the arm. I stopped using it. I haven’t injured myself, this pain is related to the ulnar nerve; the pain just happens to be at a different location now. Any feedback is welcome, thank you.

My problem is when I’m weightlifting or playing basketball, the spot on the inside of my left elbow like pulls? Or something, if I fully extend knuckles up and push my thumb towards my body I can feel it like move and pop. Idk it’s so weird and kinda affects the mobility of my left arm which is tough for an athlete

[@mzjalaal3606]

Hey, hope your well. Whenever I lift weights on a pushing motion. Ie: push-up, bench press, over head press. At times I get a very uncomfortable and often painful snapping sensation on the ulnar nerve in the elbow. I’ve stretched, given it time to heal. There have been incidents where the pain and tenderness lasted over a month. I can resume weight lifting normally, until again that pop or snap when lifting under load. I’m thinking this is perhaps due to tight pectoral/bicep or forearms. It’s been an issue for over a year, very inconvenient and annoying. Would love your opinion, thanks !

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi mz: You need to get this examined, it could be several things. Find a practitioner who deals with nerve entrapment syndromes. Cheers

[@TheJakeRobinson]

After a spontaneous blood vessel rupture in my left bicep area as I flexed my arm the pain become more severe each time and within 20 minutes I could not bend my arm. In the meantime my pinky finger became numb. I went to the hospital admitted overnight - my whole hand went numb but then my thumb, index, and middle finger regained feeling by the next morning. my outside ring finger and Pinky up to the wrist are totally numb and have been for about eight weeks. I'm really fearful the treatment I'm getting is superficial and may cause long-term damage if not addressed. I've been told him to wait for 6 months to see if the nerve regrow or rehabilitates. But I've also been told that the nerve may rehabilitate but my muscle may die in my fingers because they will have atrophied over this time. are there any specific protocols or treatment that I should be seeking ou? Or specialist that I should see. I've seen a vascular surgeon who says there's nothing he can do that it's not a vascular issue. I've seen a orthopedic specialist who had me come back in a month and then did a EMR nerve test that was done by a different fellow the test showed I had 15% nerve living 85% dead or died. The specialist then said I should wait wait 6 months to see if the nerve would regrow. I've seen my primary doctor. I've had cat scan and MRI. Other than that I have not seen a nerve specialist or any other specialist and I'm afraid that if I don't I'm going to regret not taking some action between now and just waiting for 6 months. Any ideas? Much appreciated Jakerobinsonrvp at gmail dot con

This video just popped up on my feed, i have been having tingling beyond the elbow, right arm (dominant) for a while now, as someone else mentioned, it seems that Drs here in my area (IN Georgia) they do not do this type of stuff, I have been to a ortho (i was having lower neck and upper back pain at the time) now onto yet another issue, this... ive been to PT , they dont have anything like this either, it seems like someone mentioned, they just want to inject or surgery, and i would not do that.some exercies are difficult if i have to use my left hand and do it myself, i have some gliding exercises they did give me, what helps the most, i have no idea.

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hello @vickiemay5523, Thank you for watching! I'm glad the video found its way to you. I understand how frustrating it can be when local healthcare options don't seem to offer the solutions you're looking for. It's important to find a practitioner who takes a holistic approach to your condition, especially with the kind of symptoms you're experiencing. If you haven't already, I recommend discussing your situation further with a healthcare provider who specializes in manual therapy or neuromuscular rehabilitation. Sometimes, a fresh perspective can make a big difference. In the meantime, continuing with the exercises that are manageable for you is a good step. If you're interested in learning more about various musculoskeletal conditions and treatments, we also offer a wide range of articles that might be helpful. You can check out our PDF index here: bit.ly/3voAw7N. Thank you for your support, and I hope you find the relief you're looking for. Dr. Brian Abelson, DC

What does it mean what the ulnar nerve near the inner elbow hurts when I internally rotate my arm, or press down on my wrist with resistance while holding out my arm? It specifically hurts only in these two instances and im not sure what to do.

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi 03blaird: I cannot make comments on specific cases without examining you. There are many possibilities such as cubital tunnel syndrome (ulnar nerve entrapment at the medial elbow). If this is something that is continually bothering you, you need to have it examined by a practitioner. Here is a blog I wrote on ulnar nerve entrapment.

Hello Sir , I was wondering if doing this would help with a wrist injury in my left hand right where the ulner nerve is located? I seems like half a year ago I was shooting a sling shot, teaching my kids how to properly handle one, well the next day I woke up and has been hurting ever since and never resolved. I went to a urgent care and got a xray of it, so I know the shock didn't break it, I wear a brace on and off, but it's just never healed. I was wondering if a Chiropractor doctor could do some adjustments to my wrist over a course of time or even once that may fix the problem. Thanks in advance for any helpful tips, take care sir.

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi Preston: I cannot comment on your specific case without examining you. The demonstration video you are refer to can be very effective if the practitioner is training in this procedure, and the problem is ulnar nerve entrapment. You might want to check out our ulnar nerve flossing video to see some of the exercise we often prescribe to our patients. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmmYgn6vjNulmKs In the meantime I would recommend making an appointment with a chiro, physio, or osteopath who is trained in nerve entrapment.

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hello @timothygarrity5181, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. While I'm unable to offer personalized medical advice without a physical examination, your situation does raise important points about nerve health and recovery. Peripheral nerves have a capacity for regeneration, even after considerable time has elapsed. However, the extent and likelihood of recovery can vary significantly based on numerous factors, including the type of injury, the duration of compression, and overall health. For general educational material, I have written an informative blog post about Ulnar nerve compression which you may find helpful. It's part of a comprehensive library of musculoskeletal (MSK) topics available on our website. You can access all of our articles through a categorized PDF index, designed to help you quickly find information relevant to specific body regions. Here is a direct link to our index for easy reference: PDF Index bit.ly/3voAw7N Given the chronic nature and progression of your symptoms, a reassessment by a medical professional is warranted. They can provide an updated perspective and explore potential treatment options. It's crucial to address nerve-related issues promptly to optimize the potential for recovery. Wishing you the best in health and healing.

Hello @gioiamaynor2956, thank you for reaching out and sharing your situation. It's essential to consult with healthcare professionals who can provide personalized advice based on a thorough examination. While I cannot provide specific advice online, it's crucial to follow up with your doctor or a specialist to understand the cause of your symptoms better and receive the appropriate guidance. Thank you for watching and take care.

[@tomgessner6417]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. You had mentioned in another comment to make sure that any professional as experience in nerve entrapment release. From my searching online, it appears that most doctors/professionals are more geared toward surgery than less invasive measures. Should I be asking up from about non-surgical methods to release ulnar nerve entrapment. I am dealing with the sensations in the pinky and ring finger, have lost some motor control in the pinky, and have some weakness in my thumb and other fingers. I can still do many things, hit the gym, etc. but it is very annoying. Thanks for any feedback!

[@kinetichealthonline]

Yes absolutely, most practitioners will want you to try conservative non surgical methods before surgery is considered. It could be a Chiro, Physio, Osteopath etc. as long as they are trained in nerve entrapment protocols. Just make sure they are also prescribing nerve entrapment exercises such as the ones on this link. Cheers kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmmYgn6vjNulmKs

[@lamar2405]

Any update on your recovery? I have very mild ulnar neuropathy and I am hoping to heal it before it gets worse.

[@Brookpreppygirl]

Can the ulnar nerve be entrapped in the shoulder, or brachial plexus? My daughter’s pinky is numb and she can’t lift her arm due to severely tight muscles around her shoulder.

[@kinetichealthonline]

Thank you for watching and for your question. I want to clarify that I cannot provide specific advice or comments on individual cases without a thorough physical examination and complete history. However, to address your general question, the ulnar nerve originates from the brachial plexus, which is a network of nerves formed by the lower four cervical nerves (C5-C8) and the first thoracic nerve (T1). The ulnar nerve travels down the arm and can be entrapped at various points along its path, including in the shoulder or within the brachial plexus, which might contribute to the symptoms your daughter is experiencing, such as numbness in the pinky and difficulty lifting her arm. This can sometimes be due to tight muscles or other anatomical factors in the shoulder region. For an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional who can perform a detailed assessment. Wishing you and your daughter all the best, Dr. Brian Abelson D

[@Brookpreppygirl]

Thank you! We have MRI’s scheduled this week for her cervical spine and brachial plexus, hopefully will have answers soon.

[@makojuicedaniel9307]

I have no pain just numbness in the pinky and ring finger. I put pressure on the ulnar nerve at the elbow for a minute and noticed no change. I wonder if thats an indicator that its in my forearm or neck

[@kinetichealthonline]

I'm unable to provide insights on individual cases without a thorough physical examination. However, there are several potential causes for the symptoms you're describing. I strongly encourage you to consult a healthcare professional near you for a comprehensive evaluation. For further reading, you might find my article on 'Ulnar Nerve Entrapment' interesting www.motionspecificrelease.com/post/resolving-ulnar-nerve-entrapment . Thanks for watching!

I fell a few days. Had xrays and apparently nothing. The pain has gotten progressively worse. I cant straighten my arm, but whats kind worrying is if a barely move at all, i get intense pain and pressure in my elbow and my arm contracts to my body and bends closed. Any ideas?

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hello @Sparrow350, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I'm sorry to hear about your fall and the pain you're experiencing. While x-rays can be useful for ruling out fractures, they may not detect soft tissue injuries, which can also cause significant pain and limited mobility. Given the worsening symptoms and the severe pain you've described, it would be prudent to follow up with a healthcare provider as soon as possible. They may recommend further imaging, such as an MRI, or refer you to a specialist. In the meantime, try to limit movement that triggers pain and consider applying ice to reduce inflammation. Please seek medical attention promptly, especially since the pain is intense and affecting your arm's function.

[@Sparrow350]

@kinetichealthonline Thank you for the response. I tried a walk-in clinic, and they couldn't do anything for me. They just referred me to an orthopedic, and wait times are insane. I have a doctors appointment on Thursday, and I'm sure that he will do the same. The range in movement has gotten a bit better, and the pain has gotten a bit more manageable. The "contractions/spasms "? Haven't been as strong. But now my wrist is swollen, sore to the touch, and my finger joints hurt. Oh well, we will see. Thanks again.

I have numbness in my 2 fingers but I also have a strained back as well. My Dr. Said it was a pulled muscle and my chiropractor Dr said uts the c7 that the nerve runs through. Not one of them has given me any exercises. This is very helpful. Is there any correlation between the muscles in my mid back that also relate to thus nerve?

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi: I can't make comments on specific cases without examining the patient. "The ulnar nerve arises from the brachial plexus within the axilla region. It is a continuation of the medial cord and contains fibres from spinal roots C8 and T1.After arising from the brachial plexus, the ulnar nerve descends in a plane between the axillary artery (lateral) and the axillary vein (medial). It proceeds down the medial aspect of the arm with the brachial artery located lateral." What this information is telling you is that the problem in mid-back could be a separate issue. But again having not examined you, I can't make comments on your specific case. Cheers

[@kinetichealthonline]

It's encouraging to hear that you are not experiencing pain at this moment, but the symptoms you describe in your left posterior shoulder and the snapping sensation around the epicondyle certainly catch my attention. While I appreciate your detailed description, it's critical to acknowledge that providing specific medical advice through this platform would be inappropriate without an in-person evaluation. The sensations you describe might be associated with a range of underlying conditions or biomechanical imbalances. I encourage you to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a chiropractor, physiotherapist, or physician, who can perform a physical examination and assess your situation closely. They will be able to guide you on whether or not to continue your workout and may suggest specific exercises or treatment plans tailored to your needs. Thank you for reaching out and for engaging with my content.

You need to get it examined to determine what you can and cannot do. Cheers

this is a kinda of fascia release isn't it?

[@kinetichealthonline]

Fascia surrounds and infuses everything, every type of manual therapy works on the fascia. Cheers

Is this cureable without a surgery

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi Why Why: Some cases do require surgery, and most cases do not. It really depends on the specific case. Cheers

I still have pain even after surgery. Idk what to do ...

[@rebeccaloftis-alarcon1778]

I have cubital tunnel syndrome and bursitis in my shoulders. I can get muscle relaxers and steroids all day long and even injections in my joints for pain and stiffness. NOT 1 SINGLE DOCTOR ever tried this. I had to stop going to the docs in my town because they simply won't do anything strenuous or that requires actual brain cells and contemplation. They wanted to stuff me like a Thanksgiving turkey with muscle relaxers and steroids and cortisone injections. I don't want drugs for pain I want to work it out and stretch it out and whatever else is required. I have been working in the fascia in my back trying to loosen it up because I had adhesions kind of really bad and was told even two of my ribs were stuck together because of the adhesions. I'm almost 100% free again except my elbows hurt like somebody put a nail in them. I'm tired of hurting and I'm tired of my arms being weak because they hurt so bad I'm tired of doctors who won't exercise their brain or read a book or update their knowledge database with the latest medical science. I don't even think the doctors in this town have heard the news about the fascia and its role in holding together oxygenating the musculoskeletal system. I don't think they know the fascia can be the center of the reason you hurt so much and how releasing it can stop much of the body's pain, tightness, numbness, bad circulation ,etc. I'm getting really tired of not having a doctor on my side. I would like to have somebody who has had the education and training in sports medicine or even physical rehabilitation. But I have nobody to help me figure out how to keep living while I hurt so much.

Sorry to hear you are having such a difficult time. You might want to check out the Active Release site, or the Fascial Manipulation site for someone in your area. Cheers!

@@kinetichealthonline - Thank you so much. Sometimes all a girl needs is for someone to point her in the right direction. 😀

I accidentally cut my forearm and got 7 stitches just below the elbow and my pinky and ring finger have been numb as hell if I move wrong feels like it shocks the shit out of me. Hopefully it goes away soon

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi Undercover Trolls: If this continues, you need to get into a practitioner and have it checked out. Cheers!
