Accepted Answer

Nerve or vascuinsuf: Either median or ulner or both nerves are compressed at elbow or brachial artery is compressed. All need to be investigated.

Question 2

my pinky and ring finger get numb on my left hand if my elbow is bent more than a 90 degree angle. why is this?

Accepted Answer

See details: It is likely due to ulnar nerve compression at the elbow. Get it evaluated.

Question 3

tingling numbness in hand and last 2 fingers when putting pressure on my bent elbow.  starts almost instantly.?

Accepted Answer

Ulnar neuropathy : The ulnar nerve is the nerve that you whack when you hit your "funny bone"   best treatment is not resting on it, trying to keep your arm straight, and an anti inflammatory.

Question 5

my arm and hands go numb when my elbow is bent and now i've started having more joint pain in my fingers when i wake up. anything i can do?

Accepted Answer

Cubital Tunnel Synd?: What you are describing might be cubital tunnel syndrome.  Recommend you see Orthopedic or Sports Med specialist for evaluation. Wearing a sleeve over the elbow that prevents you from bending the elbow when you sleep can help. Can find these at many pharmacies/ Walmart/ Target.  Dr R

Question 6

my arms are going numb from my elbow down into my hands, when this happens i get really light headed and nausea. also i can't move my fingers at all?

Accepted Answer

Nerve pain: It is difficult to say without examining but the pain you are describing sounds like nerve pain. Nerves can get pinched at the level of the neck or shoulder or elbow or even at the wrist.. There could also be other more serious causes for these symptomsYou need to get examined by a doctor asap to get the correct diagnosis and treatment

Question 7

palm-side of r hand n all the fingers feel numb sometimes when i walk n swing the arms, put my arm down, when i lie down, write or type. reason?

Accepted Answer

Carpal tunnel?: Consider carpal tunnel syndrome.  This causes the tips of the thumb, forefinger, middle finger and sometimes part of the fourth or ring finger to feel numbness or tingling.  It may feel worse with typing, writing, sleeping or driving.

This condition can often be treated by wearing wrist splints.

Question 8

my outer elbow is sore on left side and left ring and pinky finger stay numb. its not the ulnar side elbow that hurts. is there anything serious that can cause this? what could it be?

Accepted Answer

: It sounds like you are experiencing discomfort around your left elbow associated with numbness in the same side pinky and ring finger.  The nerve that controls sensation for the pinky and ring finger is the ulnar nerve.  The most common locations where people may experience irritation to this nerve is at the wrist and elbow.  I would suggest bringing this up with your primary and/or a neurologist.

Question 9

elbow clicks when bent, been 2 years. numbness in pinky and ring finger, gone when no physical activity for a few weeks. maybe ulnar nerve?

Accepted Answer

Probably ulnar nerve: The numbness is almost certainly coming from the ulnar nerve. The clicking may be coming from the nerve flipping in and out of its groove. However, if the clicking is not coming from the inner side of the elbow, it is something else. At age 20, I would not ignore the numbness.

Question 10

why do i get pain in both my wrists on the pinky side that causes pain in the fingers, pinky gets somewhat numb & pain goes all the way up to my elbow that aches really bad.  i partially tore a ligament in right wrist but no injury ever in left wrist?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: Cubital Tunnel Syndrome! The ulnar nerve. May be “trapped” in the tunnel it “uses” to go by the elbow! Speak with your PCP
