How to tell if this numbness is from cubital tunnel or shingles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Shingles: Shingles typically does not cause numbness, it causes burning pain in a nerve dermatomal pattern. This makes it easy to evaluate for cubital tunnel issue. Consider an emg/ncs study to evaluate nerve issues by a specialist.
