Dr. Babu Welch answered

Specializes in Neurosurgery

Not TN: This is likely a ulnar nerve injury and may be related to prolonged pressure or another injury. You should have this evaluated by a neurologist as the longer you have it the less likely any treatable causes will help you recover function.
