Will let you know how it is going after my next Doctor visit. ~UPDATE~ Had my cast taken off and my stitches removed on the 23rd.Another hurdle done.Now I am wearing a lighter removeable cast and have started my excercise therapy.Incision was about 7inches long looks rather gross.But am on the road to recovery.Still can not straighten my arm but that will come in time(I hope). ~UPDATE~ Well it has been 3 months since the surgery and things are doin ok.I hate to say it and jinx anything but as of this week~June 9th~ I think maybe I am getting the feeling or lack of back in my pinky.It is at least tolerable now.It has taken weeks of therapy(at home) stretching and strength excercises everday ice it down one time and heat the next(although I think icing it down has helped the most).Also messaging the incision area with either a vitamin E or a cocoa butter cream 4 or 5 times aday to breakdown the scar tissue.I go to see the therapist on friday ~June 11th~.

Health Info A-Z Being Healthy Health A-Z Cubital Tunnel Syndrome What is cubital tunnel syndrome? Cubital tunnel syndrome feels similar to the pain that occurs from hitting the "funny" bone in your elbow. The "funny" bone in the elbow is actually the ulnar nerve, a nerve that crosses the elbow (the ulnar nerve begins in the side of the neck and ends in the fingers). What causes cubital tunnel syndrome? Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve, which passes through the cubital tunnel (a tunnel of muscle, ligament, and bone) on the inside of the elbow, becomes irritated due to injury or pressure. The condition may occur when a person frequently bends the elbows (such as when pulling, reaching, or lifting), constantly leans on the elbow, or sustains a direct injury to the area. What are the symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome?

A variety of symptoms can develop from carpal tunnel syndrome. Common symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness of the thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. The median nerve travels down the arm and through the deep carpal tunnel in the wrist on its way to the hand. Any condition that causes swelling or inflammation within the carpal tunnel may lead to increased pressure on the median nerve. Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms may then develop. Special nerve tests done by a neurologist help make the diagnosis. Early treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome includes splinting, medication and physical therapy. Activities that aggravate the condition must also be identified and eliminated.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Cubital tunnel syndrome is a pinched nerve at the elbow commonly known as the "funny bone". This might be caused by trauma or repetitive use of the elbow and may be caused by continuous use of the elbow in a flexed position. This causes the nerve to become stretched and irritated as opposed to when the arm is extended and the nerve is in a relaxed position. The diagnosis can be confirmed with electrodiagnostic testing including nerve conduction velocity and the electromyogram. Nerve conduction velocity studies, the speed of the nerve across the elbow, will be slowed when there is nerve compression and electromyogram studies, the innervation of the muscles, might be affected by the pinched nerve.

Main Menu Home Page Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: - Discussion: - cubital tunnel serves as major contraint for the ulnar nerve as it passes behind elbow; - the syndrome occurs most commonly between 30 to 60 years, and is exceptionally uncommon in children under 15 years; - inciting events: - symptoms may appear several years after trauma (hence tardy ulnar palsy) - common injures: fx of medial epicondyle, supracondylar fx w/ cubitus valgus deformity, exuberant callus, or dislocation of the elbow; - also consider prior iatrogenic injury from intraoperative positioning; - effects of elbow movement: - w/ flexion the cubital tunnel becomes taunt, and with extension the cubital tunnel becomes lax; - sharp freee margin of aponeurosis is stretched tightly over nerve during flexion; - volume of the cubital tunnel decreases, and extrinsic pressure increases during flexion of the elbow; - as the elbow is flexed to 135 deg, mean cross sectional area of the tunnel decreases by about 35 %; - this is agravated if flexion of elbow is coupled with contraction of FCU to initiate active wrist movement, as occurs during hammering or shoveling; - in addition to decreases in the cross sectional area of the cubital tunnel which occur w/ flexion, there is also a decrease in the mean cross sectional anatomy of the ulnar nerve (about 35-40%) w/ elbow flexion; - this indicates that elbow flexion increases traction on the ulnar nerve, which is independent of any extrinsic traction; - during extension of the elbow, the bony points of attachment come closer together, relaxing the roof of the tunnel; - additional factor is the degree of tension in

Guide to getting and playing better gigs Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Home Gigging Tips Band Promotion Stage Act ... Support Band This begins with pain in the elbow area, along the inner side of the forearm. The pain can travel downwards towards the pinky, and can be accompanied by tingling or numbness sensations to the pinky side of the hand. The forearm muscles can be painful, and can lead to a misdiagnosis of tendonitis by an inexperienced doctor. This syndrome will usually only involve the ring and pinky fingers, since these fingers receive their nerve supply from the ulnar nerve. If the syndrome progresses, it can cause decreased function of the hand, especially grip strength. Wasting or atrophy of the pad of muscles on the palm side below the pinky finger can develop as well. Typically, the person notices that flexing the forearm tends to irritate the symptoms. This syndrome typically affects guitarists in the left hand (for right handed individuals, the opposite would apply for left handed people). If we dissect the playing of a simple bar chord, we would notice 1) contraction of the thumb against the underside of the neck of the guitar, 2) a counterbalancing contraction of the opposing fingers on the top fretted side of the neck, 3) bending of the fingertips to push against the strings, 4) flattening of one finger against the neck to form the bar (usually the first finger), 4) maybe some stretching of the pinky to reach a higher fret and 5) flexion of the wrist.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome What is cubital tunnel? C ubital tunnel is behind your "funny bone" on the inside of your elbow. Behind the funny bone (medial epicondyle), the tunnel is formed by the bone surrounded by muscles and ligaments. The ulnar nerve passes through the cubital tunnel on its way from the arm to the forearm and hand. What is a syndrome? A syndrome is a combination of symptoms and physical findings that characterizes a certain disease. What is cubital tunnel syndrome? C ubital tunnel syndrome is pressure on the ulnar nerve behind the funny bone causing numbness and tingling in the ring and small fingers of the hand. What Causes Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? I n normal subjects, bending the elbow causes the nerve to stretch several millimeters. When this is done repeatedly for activities that require repeated bending and straightening of the elbow in the workplace, the nerve becomes irritated and inflamed. In other patients, the nerve shifts and actually snap over the prominence of the medial epicondyle. This snapping motion stretches and irritates the nerve. Leaning on the elbow, or resting the elbow on an elbow rest during a long distance drive or running machinery may cause repetitive pressure and irritation on the nerve. A direct hit on the tunnel may damage the ulnar nerve.

During the last four years, 555 upper extremities of 494 patients were diagnosed as having thoracic outlet syndrome. Forty-five patients (9.3%) were diagnosed as having other entrapment neuropathy in one extremity. Ten cases were complicated by cervical radiculopathy, 15 by carpal tunnel syndrome, 11 by cubital tunnel syndrome, five by radial tunnel syndrome, two by ulnar tunnel syndrome, two by both carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome, and one by both cubital and ulnar tunnel syndrome. Surgery was performed for 15 limbs, and the distal lesion was operated on the first in two­thirds of these patients.
