Had an nerve test and emg done on both arms. nerve on inside of left elbow would not responde to the stimulation. what does that mean and causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinched nerve: The nerve on the inside of the elbow (ulnar nerve) can get pinched in the elbow as it goes thru a bony groove in that area. Depending on what symptoms were present prior to the test treatment will vary. Severe cases require surgical decompression. Discuss these results with your physician.
