Ulnar Tunnel or Something Else?
Hi, I've posted questions on here several times before. For a couple of months, my left hand has been hurting and going numb. It's mostly part of my palm and my pinkie and ring finger. It's starting to worry me. I want to be a doctor, and doctors really need their hands. I love to type. Does that have something to do with it?
Answers:
Could be carpal tunnel, See your dr to be sure. Allow rest periods when your on the computer etc. and stretching exercises for the hands. But only your dr. will know for sure and if you want to become a dr. all the more reason to be seen, examined and treated. Good Luck to youThanks. I've already had carpal tunnel release surgery on that hand. I had that a year ago next month.Then it could very well be ulnar tunnel:

I think I have this as I always sleep with my arm folded and hand at my neck and find I don't aggravate the nerve when I dont sleep this position. I also have carpal tunnel but its not that bothersome now. I limit my keyboard time now and do exercises.
