A member asked:
My neurologist did a ncs and emg, and found: "severe ulnar entrapment at multiple levels". could you, please, explain this diagnosis for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ulnar nerve: The ulnar nerve is a nerve that helps control the lower arm. It controls muscles that help clench the fist, flex the wrists and fingers. It gives sensation to the inner portion of the forearm and the ring and pinky fingers. Although usually injured at the inside of the elbow (the 'funny bone'), your nerve has more than one site of injury. I would discuss this with your doctor to learn more.
