Ulnar neuropathy is a disorder involving the ulnar nerve. Ulnar neuropathy may be caused by entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the elbow or wrist with resultant numbness and tingling into the fourth and fifth fingers.Motor function can be assessed by testing for a positive Froment's sign, or making an OK sign (which the patient will be unable to do).ndeed, the elbow is probably the most common site of pain in an ulnar neuropathy. Occasionally, patients specifically say âI have pain in my elbow,â âI have pain in my funny bone,â or even âI have pain in this little groove in my elbow,â but usually they are not quite so explicit unless prompted.
Based on your description, Iâd say you have cubital (not carpal) tunnel syndrome. Another name for this condition is ulnar neuropathy. Cubital tunnel syndrome, like carpal tunnel syndrome, is a âpinched nerveâ problem. The affected nerve is the ulnar nerve. That nerve starts in your neck, enters your arm, and passes through the inner side of your elbow (behind your funny bone) on its way to your hand.
