Please help, elbow problem?


I got an MRI and i went to doctors

They both say nothing is wrong with my elbow

I had cubital tunnel syndrome ( yes thats a real syndrome and no it is not carpal )

so the numbness in my pinky is gone ( cubital causes your pinky to go numb/ring finger )

and now i can bent my elbow and stuff but why does the nerve or whatever it is still is swollen/popping out?

whenever i flick it a tingle runs from my elbow to my pinky and it hurts sometimes

if they say nothings wrong then how come one arm the nerve is sticking out and the other it is properly in place?

need some help please. Thanks

I think you should seek a second or even a third opinion from
another doctor specialist who is familiar with such an abnormality.
I believe, cases like yours need special attention especially you
had 'cubital tunnel syndrome'. I suggest you keep on trying until
you've found the right medical specialist who can treat you
properly.
In any case, don't give up.
Best of luck to you!

I"m sorry I can't help but don't let your Dr off that easy !!! sure your Dr can tell you what you have but kindly ask him to do something for it ... if he doesn't get a second opinion, maybe try acupuncture sounds like this would work for you

Try wrapping it with an a.c.e bandage for support. Do what you can to not irritate it. It might need a while to heal.

Elbow injuries are the worst. Im a cashier and get tennis elbow from lifting bags of groceries all day.

If it doesn't get better soon, consult your doctor, or get a second opinion if you disagree.

You may still be having some tingling etc when you tap it because the ulnar nerve (the nerve that goes through the cubital tunnel) may still be fixing itself. There is a membrane that goes over the tunnel that the nerve runs through that forms a sort of roof on the tunnel. That may have ruptured which may let the nerve pop out. If it isn't painful I wouldn't worry about it too much. If it really concerns you, you should probably go to another doctor to have a second or third opinion done. Not sure if there is much tha can be done for it.
