Great information, thank you so very much for sharing this.
I appreciate your videos
Glad you like them!
Thanks a lots need more of this
Thank you for this video. Been dealing with this for almost 2 years now. I’m a musician and I was afraid to look into it and find out I had to go straight to surgery but this gives me hope.
Hi, I have the same problem and might do surgery. Would love to know how your surgery experience was?
Took 500 photos on a vacation, had iphone pinky, followed by ulnar nerve compression from self masaage - lasted. 5 months before I took serious help from personal phy and therapist. This video is very useful - it is my Exact Problem, so thanks for posting it👍
Thank you, I have Cubital tunnel syndrome, but I will not stop working out contrary to my Doctors wishes. Thanks again.
My doctor has sent a referral to get the nerve test done. Already had carpal tunnel surgery 12 years ago. I think with my job I'm over using the nerves. Great info thank you.
Great video. Thank you. I learn more from than my sport medicine doctor. I went to her complaining about tingling sensation in my ring and pinky fingers. She told me immediately it is from my neck. Then she told to get neck therapy for weeks. She never mentioned anything about lunar nerve. You’re absolutely right. I started feeling the tingling and numbness in those after using a computer on a desktop. That’s when it’s started. My doctor never mentioned anything about how I used my arm. She quickly sent for neck therapy at her office. Thank you for this video.
excellent video. I slept like this for years and stopped about six months ago. Made a huge difference and I am rarely troubled any longer.
Thank you for sharing that.
Thank you for your lesson.
I really appreciate it.
God bless you always.❤🙏
Amém
Thanks a lot sharing this good thoughts
Thank you for your video information. God bless
Excellent video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thal you so much Dr. Furlan. For so much clinical info as i am suffering from nerve pain in my pinky and gerneralized pain in my elbow form sleeping just as you shared my sleeping position. With great hope and prayer and exercises this siyation will resolve on its on without the need of surgery. Have a wonderful day. I will try using a spint at night. 🙏 grateful for your help.
Thank you for making this 💪 ❤️! The "don't sleep like this" + visual + info how to break that habit is helpful. Yikes for me- I had no idea that could be a cause behind some issues. Or how the hardness of the desk is a contributor too.
You're so welcome!
Nice and easy explanation. Thank you so much.

Thank you, i have been experiencing grip weakness for some time and i didn't know what it was, i suspected atrophy or an electrolyte deficiency, but there was 1 time when the pinky and ring finger in my left hand started tingling, after which i started seriously considering it being cubital tunnel syndrome.

Very well explained.....I was hit at the left elbow and it's 2 weeks now, will this fix my pink finger tingling and numbness!!!
I meet you now for the first time...and I am so happy to! I have been suffering from tendonitis in my right elbow for a week or so. I rubbed a bit of diclofinac creme on it. I bought an "elbow support" brace, to wear during the day. It has extra compression "discs" on both sides below the elbow (on the forearm)..not too tight. This morning I woke up with a very painful ring finger. So I googled to see if there is a connection between the finger pain and elbow - and found you!!!! You explain it so thoroughly! and better yet, you explained the ulnar nerve exercise so well..I know what to do!!! thank you!!!
I have slept like this all my life, even as a child. I am actually having surgery may 10, 23. Pls pray for speedy recovery, as I am self employed, I teach CPR classes now for 27 years. I dread the recovery length. BUT GOD…🙏🏼

Tra un po’ dovrò operare 😮
You are 🙏🏻 welcome
Excellent explanation by dr andrea about cubital tunnel syndrome .causes symptoms and treatment both conservative like night splint and nerve gliding techniques gently in pain limited manner .very common in cubitus valgus deformity malunited supracondylar or radial head fractures post traumatic stiffness patients used to come after removal of immobilization cast or native bandages causes iatrogenic valgus usually range of motion Will be improved but this medial elbow sensory numbness tingling persist sometimes ulnar clawing may occur little and ring finger ....so treatment with drs and adequate physiotherapy plays a key role ....if not as dr andrea suggested need surgical exploration of ulnar nerve ...fabulous video madam ....
Thank you Vignesh
@@DrAndreaFurlan hahaha asusual .....welcome madam
Very helpful doc
Glad to hear that
So incredibly painful
Thanks for it i have this problom how week or month
Thenk You
Thank you too
Thank you so much it's very useful for me can we do gym plz reply
Thanks for the video. I accidentally hit my funny bone really hard on something which triggered this nerve and wake up with tingles in my ring and pinky fingers.
I wear a wrist brace to sleep which helps but now I know it’s more so my elbow.
my doc and physio say keep using arm as normal, dont rest
Please follow your doctor's recommendations.
I just had the surgery 2 weeks ago. I had no idea that the nerve could be compress or stuck in the radial joint. I was losing feeling in half my hand and was getting very difficult to do my job(truck driving).
How are you recovering from the surgery? How bad is the pain after the surgery?
@billythecat it's going well, I had a submuscular nerve transposition with several bone spurs that were causing the problem. Therapy is going very well. The pain was moderate but I was on an oxycodone regimen for the first week and tapered off into acetaminophen. It was also on my dominant side so I needed to get this done as it was extremely difficult to even grip anything properly.
Hello Dr Andrea. This video has answered my questions what many others didn’t do. Thank you for a very clear explanation.
I have this problem for over a week. I will have to wear something in night to avoid sleeping with my hands below my head. Also I have to avoid long hours on video editing.
How many weeks should I wait for the numbness / tingling to go away?

Thank you Dr. I appreciate your quick response and understand your inability to advice medically. I checked your webisite briefly and will check more this weekend. @@DrAndreaFurlan
Hello Dr.Furlan, how long does it take to heal without surgery. I have a mild compression.
Thankyou.now I know what happened to me I have this disease..and how to overcome.
Please get a proper diagnosis from a medical doctor. Do not try to diagnose yourself.
Hi, if I have this, should I avoid to swim? (for fun, not for competitive)
Should I avoid doing sports with the ulnared arm/hand?
How do you feel about taking armor instead of Synthroid for hypothyroid
I have acute pain at the end of my left pinky finger. if something hits or presses slightely it pains a lot. When im in the cold wind while bike riding it hurts due to cold. I do lot desk work for many years, but my doubt is rather than nerve issue probably I have wrongly pressed the keyboard while typing practice that has cuased some injury or slight fracture.
I have the same same problem in my Both had, and also my ring finger will be locking
My middle finger cramping and tingling every single day, is there any food supplement can help with this?
If I perform the glide exercises once a day and sleep with a splint, how long should I expect the numbness to persist? I've heard other say its taken upwards of three months.
I’ve had constant sore bit on both hands at the wrist/ bottom of hand on the side under my little finger or opposite side of thumb. It has been there for months ever since I had bowel surgery which has given me severe pain in my bottom for nearly a year. I have told my doctor and he doesn’t know what it is. Any ideas?
Hello i have pain in pinky finger last 15 years not sleeping
I started a computer job after 4 months. I've gotten this feeling in my ring and pinky finger
I feel sensation and tingling while sleeping. I have started strength training. After that it happened. But i want to do strength training. Can i do?
how do i use the share button? never used it before.
I just have pain in the pinky and ring finger, not the arm - sometimes numb and tingling. Goes away and comes back
When I do the wrist exercise (at 6:45 into video) my wrist judders. I don't get this on the unaffected arm. Can this be due to compression at the elbow still or would it be compression at the wrist?
I got angry and my ulnar nerve is now in pain, I think my neck is stiff. How do you deal with ulnar nerve around the neck?
I get this and then also get like palm soreness, like the part of the palm that's on the same side as the ring and pinky fingers. And occasionally in my wrist too. Is that part of this? Is it normal?
My ring and pinky has no strength also less movement control how can I fix it my left hand is good but right hand two fingers are weak
Woke up last week, had a pain in my right shoulder like none before, i was in the floor in pain, right arm and hand started getting numb as the pain lasted... went to ER, got pain shot in hip and inflammation meds....next day got a shot in my shoulder....here we are a week later, half of my right hand, pinky and ring fingers and that side of palm is still numb...so can this start from back?
I have an incredibly painful spot, about 4 fingers down from my elbow on the Ulnar nerve side of the forearm. It does not cause the symptoms you speak of here (no numbness, tingling, or finger/hand issues), but if I lean my forearm on a table, or press that spot, it is truly a "10" on a pain scale of 1-10. I have tried the "flossing" exercises, castor oil packs, and ice. nothing seems to work for when that spot gets pressed. It must be work related as my elbows are always in the bent position, on the computer. I don't know what kind of a professional to see for a proper diagnosis. Do you think this could be ulnar nerve compression, if it only hurts in one spot along that nerve and only when pressed? It is not a normal pain ,and I've only had this for a month or so. Thanks.
Can these same symptoms come from cervical damage without focal elbow compression?
Yes, I have another video about cervical radiculopathy.
I have this ulnar injury, how can this be cured…
I was watching Netflix at night , then my ring finger and fingerend started to feel numb. I wonder if it is this syndrome or not
Typing over 20 years. Only my right hand is affected
I compete in amateur armwrestling and suffered a partial tear to my ulnar ligament about 4 years ago. Just recently I started getting tingling/hot/cold sensations down my arm and into my hand. If I continue to train, how much worse can this get? I have had no signs of it affecting my strength or muscle size
Did it get better, because i have similar symptoms
Is surgery the only option?
Dr.Furlan what is Cubital tunnel syndrome?
Hi Jaya, I answer that question in the video.
I've had this in both arms for over 20 years when I sleep with my arms resting on my stomach... Mentioned it to a Dr but she just shrugged her shoulders and said nothing!
Please doctor help me i have to much pain to my fingers for long time more especially when it's Cold I need a help.am your follower

A woman is disabled and has had this problem for a year and a half
Surgery will help her
Or has it become chronic?
It depends on many factors
I'm almost certain I have cubital tunnel syndrome though I also have an earlier issue of a TFCC tear, carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar impaction syndrome. I've had debridement of the tear, release of the carpal tunnel and a terrible neuropathic pain complication for several months after the surgery. The pain in my medial elbow seems partly due to what feels like the nerve rolling across the bone. Is that a feature of cubital tunnel syndrome? I use my computer mouse on the arm of my couch and while it's soft, it's still immovable and the motion is repetitive. I have placed a gel pad (for metatarsal pain) under my elbow or rested it on my cold water bottle and gotten a little relief. Will a gel pad prevent nerve damage?
Rested my elbow on the cold water bottle, not resting the gel pad on it.😂
I'm glad to hear that the gel pad provides some relief.
I sometimes get this in one arm when I sleep on it. I wiggle my fingers for a minute, and it goes away, and my hand is normal. If it is temporary like that, is it still the syndrome?
The symptoms of ulnar nerve compression can be temporary.
@@DrAndreaFurlan is it still something to get help for?
I am in a wheelchair and my inner elbow area rests on the armrest on the chaIr. I find my ring and pinky fingers go numb after a couple of hours sitting in my chair.
Hi Carrie, I'm sorry to hear that. Please talk to your doctor about the numbness.
😮
Do you have this problem?
