Cubital tunnel is : Compression of the ulnar nerve. Often it feels as you hit your funny bone. The ulnar nerve at the elbow if affected gives tingling little ring fingers. The small intrinsic muscles of the hand and flexor tendons little and ring and the fcu a strong wrist flexor can also be affected. Back or chest can also be due to more proximal nerve compression neck or thoracic outlet. Chest pain? Check on!
