When someone has Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, they present with wrist pain and numbness in the thumb, index and long finger. The condition can keep people awake at night, can be bothersome during activities of daily living and be problematic with other activities as well. Cubital Tunnel is a condition at the elbow involving the nerve called the ulnar nerve. That's a condition that will lead to numbness in the ring and the small fingers as well as some weakness with hand function. People develop Cubital and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for a variety of reasons.
