Cubital Tunnel Syndrome | Expert Physio Review on Assessment 

I had numb 4th and 5th fingers for 5 years, and a buzzing forearm.. i had an operation cubital release 3 days ago, i can feel all of my fingers and my hand ✋ feels much stronger and responsive already. . I'm healing quickly and it seems to of been a success so far 😊

I’m a musician and had this for 2 years I cannot stress enough buy a splint that stops you bending your elbow so you can allow the nerve to repair when you go to bed at night and do those ulnar nerve stretches and glides great video by the way I’m more knowledgeable now about my cts can you do a video on causes . I got mine from a mob phone allowing my pinky to take the weight acting as a stand so to speak be aware of that one !

I'm so upset. I've been telling my dr about this numbness for 2 years! She just tells me its my fybromyalgia and has never looked further. Its lasted 4 days this time and I'm SICK of it. A simple google search brought me to this answer and it fits PERFECTLY. I'm so upset. TWO YEARS!

Thenar eminence wasting is not prominent with ulnar nerve lesions since only adductor policis is supplied by the ulnar nerve. The image used for thenar wasting could be misleading therefore.

This man is handsome as hell, and he can help me with cubital tunnel syndrome, too #HusbandMaterial

What about a sharp pain along that side of the forearm only when it is pressed (or I lean the arm on an armrest, table, or desk)? Could that be ulnar nerve entrapment? If so, what type of professional should be consulted?

I had this problem in 2021 during the pandemic. It healed on its own after 9 months. However there are times that my left hand feels tired or weak.

I have had this for like 6-8 years now. It only happens when my elbow is bent for long periods of time. I had two nerve conduction tests years apart. The result was the same both times; the conduction was JUST under the lower range of what is considered normal. They said I had nothing to worry about. I haven't seen an worse symptoms and the last test was a few years ago.

when I did a barbell overhead tricep with dumbbells, then I can't even do push ups, it came out in my medial triceps, it hurts me a lot, how can I cure this with what exercises do you suggest? do I have to stretch or is there no other solution except surgery PLEASE REPLY BROTHER❤now i have popping in medial tricep near elbow please help me❤

It hurts so badly at the elbow site. I’m here because I can’t sleep Also if he tapped on my elbow omg 😳 no. I have a brace but it hurts - oh gosh

The best video explaining cubital tunnel syndrome!!!! clear, precise and easy to understand! the only disappointment is when I heard it takes 6 weeks to recover....oh my! 6????? I was hoping for 2. how about stretching? Would that accelerate the recovery? Highly recommend this video.

Hi Sir kndly Make a vdeO On Spinal Stenosis full rehabilitation proGrame from Day 1st Acute StaGe t0 Chronic Exercises Modalities EverythnG will be ur Great kndness from Pakistan DR.MAJID khan PHYSICAL THERAPIST..

I just had surgery for this and carpel tunnel May 13th 2024 self diagnosed then confirmed by my doctor.

I had carpal tunnel on both wrists and cunital tunnel on the left arm the cubital and carpal are damaged so they won't get better completely they waited to long

I woke up with three fingers not moving... I got diagnosed with cubital tunnel syndrome yesterday, but why my middle finger is affected?

can a over inflated blood pressure cuff, which left scuff, scrape mark on inside arm, agrivated a tunnel syndrome ? Just above elbow, down top of lower arm into the hand mostley. Pain, tingling, throbbing. ??

I was diagnosed with this in both arms yesterday. I've had symptoms for about 10 years that have gradually got worse. I Have been referred nerve conduction tests. Thanks for the video, I've been feeling very upset since yesterday, this has eased my mind a bit as I remember the clinician saying I don't have muscle wastage which seems like a good sign!

Sir, I am guitar player but cannot play guitar due to musician dystonia, in my little and ring finger of left hand, really I puzzle for that, so requested to solve my this problem 🙏

I am suffering from cubital tunnel syndrome symptoms Who should I go to for treatment, i.e. an orthopedic or neurologist?

I live in India and i don't know how I fix my lots of knee problems,i have hoffa fat pad and patella Alta and i am 20 year old. Help me!!

Hey bro !can cubital tunnel sydrome became worse in cold weather?

I have this AND my biceps hurts too…what does that mean?

I am feeling vibration and numbnes in my left hand pinky finger

As a student I love your channel so much

Ugh. I think this is what has started happening with me. Both my arms and hands are affected. And it started about 2 weeks ago. I don't have pain right now. But the numbness, tingling and weakness is frustrating.

Absolutely brilliant video, thank you so much. You're a very talented teacher👍🏻

Thalamic stroke, yep, my freeway nerve system is fried, dead. So my pain in my hand is torture, I'm being electrocuted, set on fire, and stabbed constantly. I can't even rate the pain because the nerve pain scale should be constant, torture, for the rest of your life. Then, damage to nerves to my organs. The worst is temperature nerve pain where you can feel sweat pour down your head and body goes rigid, could be for hours that you are being attacked. Have you had patience with a thalamic stroke? This nerve pain is no joke.

I have this bilaterally from doing muscle ups. I believe thats the cause anyway.

I just feel a lot of tingling in my pinky and ring finger, but no pain, in fact i can do weightlifting without a problem, i think my problem is how i seat at my desk. Does applying heat helps?, thanks

Amazing sir the way u explain the things

last nite out of the blue pain started shooting down my right arm starting at the elbow to the wrist, couple hours later I could not move my elbow without sharp pain. woke up this morning from the elbow pain with visible swelling and weakness in the hand. i can probably take something for the pain, But will this heal itself or do i need to see a doctor?? You explained all of my symptoms perfectly.

so wasting means you cant move certain fingers? i dont really understand that part, i have pain in my elbow at the nerve location you mentioned, and my bottom 2 fingers everso slightly tingle, i read that i have top wait for 5 weeks before going to a doctor so i ll just stick with that i think

This was helpful thank you. I was just diagnosed with CTS via an EMG and I’m awaiting my follow ups. However, this is been going on for years and every doctor I saw missed the diagnosis; GP’s, Neurologists, Orthopedists. I had to stop riding a motorcycle as my hand went from pins/needles in the 4 & 5th fingers full on hand and arm numbness. Full blown hand asleep and very dangerous. Then numbness then showed up when just riding a bicycle and of course sitting in a chair with my arm up on the rest. Is this super rare? I would expect that when presenting to a doctor that my hand was falling asleep, 3/4th finger numbness, tingling in the morning in bed, neck and shoulder discomfort; CTS would be one of the immediate things they would have looked for. My 5th doctor in the 5th year of trying to figure this out asked that my second EMG specifically key in on this. I’m thankful that I now know what I’m dealing with but I’m surprised this has been a medical mystery in my story.

Idk if this is cubital tunnel syndrome but. I have had this dull pain in my left hand in the cubital fossa due a bicep curl, and it have been like this for months, sometimes it gets better but it comes back anyways. So yeah, i have to go to the ortho to get this figured out.

You Have Been Most Helpful. I Have Numbness In Both Hands, Im Righthanded. When I Close Both Hands Too Make A Fist Both Hands Hurt But My Left Ring Finger Keeps Getting Stuck When I Try Too Open It Slowly Then It Pops Up. My Hands Been Like This For A Week. I Think It Came From My Phone Or Lifting Heavy Items.

Sir, can i wear finger strengthen at time of guitar play,

The best explanation among all the videos about this topic! It helps me to prove my doctor to refer me to neurologist

I’ve got in a motorcycle accident and smacked my elbow real hard on the ground. I remember the doctor telling me I might have a nerve pressed there. After 2 years nibbling has got so bad that I can’t do pull ups with out the right hand slipping. Think I’ll go to the doctor

My ulnar nerve is moving above medial epicandyle when hand moved in v shape is it normal?

A very well delivered and reassuring explanation - thanks!

How do you distinguish cubital tunnel and a c8 radiculopathy

Informative ❤

Fantastic video! Was looking up some ideas for a patient and this was a very well made video. You have a new sub!

My ulnar nerves actually sticks out when I bend my elbows. I am in the early stages of getting a proper diagnosis a d have not had nerve testing done yet.

Beautiful explanation thanks a lots for the video God bless you

Also is there similar signs in the legs for the different nerves - maybe a video on that. :)

Thanks for the video

Thxxxx a lot 😍

I did glide exercises and it went away in a couple of days!

so im cooked?

Great video. Do median and radial nerve also ❤️

Great stuff. Thanks

Brilliant

Thank you for the super clear explanation. I'm on 2 weeks of numbness and pins and needles but thank God I still have strength in this hand. It's just frustrating how gliding hasn't done much for me.

I’ve got all the symptoms, but none of the diy tests duplicate it. It started right after a week of intense pain under the tip of my shoulder blade. I have no clue what is going on. Months to go before ortho appointment. Anyone have a guess?
