Ulnar Nerve Entrapment?

[Baydestrian]

Anybody ever deal with ulnar never entrapment?

First time it happened to me was last night, I was at work on the computer and focused on something and I guess I was resting on my left elbow, all of sudden my pinky slowly went numb and dull pain in my elbow. Found this http://www.ehow.com/how_5199086_relieve-fingers-left-hand-right.html within a couple of hours it was gone.

Right now I was focused on the comp again and realized I was resting on my elbow and was like crap and sure enough as soon as I moved my pinky is numb/tingly and the tip of my ring finger is too. Feels weird typing lol

know what you mean man, I have ulner nerve damage...first got it when I was at school in detroit. apparently I must have whacked my elbow pretty good (either sleeping or something else, I couldn't remember) and its been like this ever since.

went to a neurologist that sent shocks through my arm to tell me what my dad had told me 2 weeks before; (hes been an MD for 30+ years). neuro said I may need surgery and wanted me to talk to a surgeon...I never went back.

haha nice man....yeah, that and 1/3 of my left hand. I barely notice it anymore though, you get used to it...I have some feeling, its more tingly all the time. I just have to wear gloves when I go to the gym. doesnt seem to like the circular grip of the weights in my hand and starts aching.
