Is it Nerve Injury Such as Cubital Tunnel?
There is a sizable nerve that passes through the elbow, known as the ulnar nerve. Cubital Tunnel is an inflammation or irritation of this nerve. If you have ever hit your "funny bone," you are already familiar with how an ulnar injury can feel.

Nerves play a crucial role in communicating the sensations we feel to our brain. When the ulnar nerve is irritated and injured, this leads to mixed signals getting sent to your brain. That’s why Cubital Tunnel can often feel like burning or tingling down the outer forearm and into the ring and pinky fingers.

It can be persistent and frustrating for anyone experiencing this injury. Another easy way to tell if you’ve hurt your ulnar nerve is that when stationary or with every bend of the elbow, pain can be felt rushing down the forearm.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is a common nerve entrapment syndrome in the body, second only to carpal tunnel syndrome. It occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes injured or irritated on the inside aspect of the elbow (funny bone) through compression, stretching, or other traumatic insult. In this area of the elbow, the nerve is relatively unprotected between the bone and the skin in an anatomical space named the cubital tunnel.

What's the Ulnar Nerve? 🤔
It's a crucial part of your body's nervous system! It runs from your neck all the way down to your fingers, playing a key role in sensation and movement in your hand and forearm. 💪🖐️

Funny feeling in your hand?
That tingling and numbness in your ring and pinky fingers could be Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is a common nerve entrapment that occurs when the Ulnar Nerve becomes injured or irritated along the inside aspect of your elbow.
