Help for Small Finger Numbness: Cubital Tunnel Relief
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 05. 2023
- Do you have numbness and tingling of your small finger and half of your ring finger? If so, follow along as I demonstrate two nerve flossing exercises that can help relieve your numbness and tingling caused by cubital tunnel syndrome.
Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition that occurs when the ulnar nerve, which runs from your neck to your hand, is compressed at the elbow. This can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in your pinky and ring fingers.
These exercises are the best way to relieve cubital tunnel symptoms because they safely floss, or glide, your ulnar nerve. Other exercises focus on range of motion and strength, which causes you to over stretch your nerve.
In this first ulnar nerve flossing exercise you will learn how to slack the nerve at the joints above and below the elbow. This allows the nerve to begin comfortably sliding through all the small ligaments, muscles, and fascia in the arm.
In the second exercise, you will learn how to glide the nerve slow and symptom free by incorporating your shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand.

As a guitar player, I was getting numbness in my pinky and ring finger. This has been helping a lot. Thank you so much..
On strumming/picking hand?
@@dmitrizaslavski8480 my fretting hand. It's about 65% now.
Does this work? I am a multi instrumentalist i play guitar drums piano and because of this numbness my life has became miserable i haven't been able to go on gigs for quite a long time now
@@rakeshchitra487 I am still 3 months later battling the numbness in my pinky and half the ring finger. I say, I am about 75% better on most days but it's still there. Looking at surgery. Haven't gotten the shots yet which many say help but I don't want to mask a problem. I want to fix it.
@@rakeshchitra487 I have gotten used to playing with the numbness a lot better now.
You are Making. Doing this whole routine from 1st exercise to the last just once has releaved my pain considerably. Thanks a lot
You literally just saved my life I feel 500% better already. I have an elbow that I damaged a nerve a long time ago and now its came back with a vengeance. Thanks so much for your video, you are amazing.
Had tingling and some numbness for the past 2 and a half hours (first time that long, previously it was lasting a couple of minutes max). Did the first ecercise a few times and it's almost back to normal!
Thank you! That did help quite a bit. The numbness came on very quickly…..now it’s much better, not quite gone.
I had to come back and say thanks. This was bothering me for months before I looked it up. Two days of your flossing, and I only do it now for prevention when I think about how it's not numb anymore. 🎉
I'm a fiddle player and I was really worried I was finished. Did this ONCE and I notice a real difference. Thank you.
The healing continues. The stretching is easy to do anywhere. I had a gig last night and didn't even notice the numbness. The real problem was a weakness in my pinky (essential to hit high notes). 3 hour performance and again, no symptoms. Just a slight tingle today but it's different. Feels strong.
Amazing - worked straight away. Thank you.
I am confused. Several times you say "Be sure you are symptom-free" before going to the next exercise......."Make sure you are not getting numbness and tingling" from the exercise.... I DO have numbness and tingling which is why I am trying the exercises.
Absolutely...
Don't force it too much. That's it
The symptoms flare up more the more you progress in the exercise if yours are that bad you shouldn't progress and you should do the first version of the exercise only, also go to a doctor too because when i first got this condition my nerve was inflamed and needed medication first.
Don’t exacerbate it
She means, if the exercise makes it worse, don't go further ..
WOW!!!! I have no numbness after working through the steps a few times until I could get to the point with no numbness. Thank you so much for this video.
Omg! Not only did this help with my numbness but, the area around my elbow feels significantly better as well.
Yay!!That's great!
Life saving
@@VirtualHandCarewhat about my left middle finger tip is knumb,and it just came on,,do you think it got nerve damage or a pinched nerve?when.my nail was cracked,when a nail technician put on acrylic nails?its really weird because it is only in my middle left fingertip only,the same finger that my nail was cracked?I don't understand ,because it came on suddenly?
How long it took you to get better
Thank you I have been looking now for 2 months and then I found this video big help num and tingling continuity I will be on exercise 1 for a while thanks 😊
love your vibe. your beautiful onscreen energy. and of course your exercises. love you gave a very gentle one. helped me a lot as every other youtube channel only show extreme ones.
Thank you random nerve healing lady I was scared for a minute and the first few reps of the second I found relief
It's very helpful. Thank you so much Ms.
wow I felt some instant relief. thank you so much! I'll be adding this to my routine for sure
Very pleased with this video as it's easy to follow, and it has also given me awareness that my muscles are too tight, which is actually what's causing the nerve issue.
Thanks Doctor for all the info.
Thank you, definitely felt the relief.
WHAT THE HECK?!! i'VE BEEN SUFFERING THIS FOR DAYS, AND THE FRIST EXCERCISE GAVE ME AN IMMEDIATE RELIEF

Awesome vid! Knowing specifically what my problem is was very useful information. +1.

You are amazing

Thank you so much i m facing this problem since 2022 after watching this video i m feeling much better ❤❤❤❤
I just do as the video and wow it was amazing!
It is going to be my every day exercise.
Thankyou soo much❤
From india 🇮🇳
Thanks, had some numbness now much better.
I played so much beat saber that I ended up learning about how fragile my ulnar nerve is lol This helped a lot!
Thank you 🥰. I usually don't have numbness in my pinky for this long, but now I know what i did wrong. It's not painful or extremely numb. Yesterday, I played the Sims 4 on my laptop, and I have to use a mouse instead of my normal controller. Which causes me to lean on my left elbow while controlling the mouse with my right hand. After unintentionally applying pressure to my ulnar nerve, I went to bed immediately. I've been sleeping in a poor position lately, which involves me sleeping with my arms above my head or me sleeping on my arm directly cutting off circulation. I'll be me mindful from now on 😅. In the past, these two actions have resulted in some numbness, but it would go away quickly on its own. Combining the two actions is what caused my current problem
great exercise number 1 worked and numbness slowly started to go away after few repetitions
❤Thanks this has been very helpful to me in highlighting and pinpointing my problems. I am sure with your exercises my numbness would reduce. I had a very bad fall last year. My thigh bone is recovering but my small fingers are still tingling a lot.
Which time taken to your thigh bone recovery Actually I have similar situation
Same! Just knowing that there are specifics that divide the possible cause of my problem to "one thing or the other" was 1000x useful information.
Wooooooow really great exercise I subscribed to your informative channel , Thank u
Very helpful than you so much my hand has been hurting for 2 days
IT WORK TYSM!!!!!!!
fr
Well, they bring instant relief
These exercises look great - I've had a pinched nerve for a bout a week now, and I will try to do these exercises every day for a bit before Ispend any money on doctors ...
Did this helped you?
Great exercises. Does exercise 1 also help with trigger finger in the ring finger? Thanks.
Thanks for this. Is it also usual to have lost strength in the affected hand?
thanks mam it is showing changes
Dam this actually worked like magic.
You say not to move to step 2 until I don’t have symptoms or not to flex the wrist too much if I have symptoms but I have numbness in my pinky 24/7 . Will doing the 1st step still help?
Hi, I have trigger fingers and thumb, my thumb gets stuck across my palm i have hypermobility EDS so i don't know if it is sublux of thumb at the base of it. Thanks.
I have both pain and tingling sometimes Thumb area and sometimes last 2 fingers.. I also have oposite end of my elbow inner part is in very bad pain.. I thought that was causing my hands to go numb but its always either side of my hands not at the same time.. Thank you for making this video for us...
I do alot of gaming on my pc. Do you think what caused this was pressure on the elbow while leaning on my desk?
Hi Michelli.. hw r u..? Am from india 3months backs i had a distal radius fracture&my wrist mobilised for 6weeks with pop afture removing cast i went for pt.. bt my hand was so weak&stiff..after watching ur videos i started excercise my supination was improved& nw my hand rotation was upto 95%the only problem is with flexation.. thank you very much for u..
You are welcome! I'm so happy to hear the videos have helped you! 🙏
Are these exercises good to do after having ulnar release surgery?
Should a person do anything different with the exercises if the numbness is limited to only the palm and small finger area?
Hi I really love ur content I had 4pins on my 4 metacarpal and 5 I had them off for like 10 days how long should I go to the gym to be more clear I had the surgery 3months now
I get numbness in both hands pinky and ring finger while I'm asleep. Is this exercise suitable for that as well?
This is the first time I’ve experienced this so I don’t know if I’m anxious but when I try the first exercice my ears started ringing and I felt faint. Is that a problem?
I had a fifth metacarpal boxer fracture. They recommended surgery cause my pinky will scissor and be crooked it I don’t. She said it’s just an annoyance thing for a lot of ppl. Should I get it? It’s my off hand and I can’t imagine it would be that annoying
This is comedy gold
holy smokes that worked instantly
I had these symptoms and they were a sign of coeliac disease!
What if my tingling and numbness do not come and go. What if it's a constant sensation? Can I still do the exercises?
I have a question -------
Numbness only while walking ,not immediately, after 10 minutes....
Will it work for me also?
I've been getting Cubital Tunnel from laying in bed doing homework on my laptop, which is probably the reason I've been avoiding it.
My pinky and toes tingles
Hi.. when i do 2nd excercise and bend the neck i feel some muscle moving under the shoulderblade.. also in the arm near shoulder.. is this normal can i continue excercise.. thanks
I went on a long bike ride in March over two days. My ring and pinky fingers went numb during it. This happened on shorter rides before, but always went away after a week or so. On that large one though, it's been three months and it still hasn't gone away. Do you think this exercises would help, or am I looking at surgery potentially? Thank you!
They would not do a surgery right away. If so seek a 2nd opinion. Start with physical therapy and see a sensible doctor
Wow it fixed me 😭
If the numbness won't go away: -----> The condition can be cured by a very minor surgery. Don't be afraid to have it done. It is a very simple and non-dangerous out-patient procedure. My nephew had it done. They basically made a small incision on the inside of the arm at the elbow and slightly widened the canal that the nerve is running through. He said the result was an immediate cessation of the numbness which has never come back, and he had it done years ago. The procedure is very simple and usually 100% successful every time.
How many times
Can ULNAR nerve entrapment also cause twitching in the pinky?
Hello Michelle, first of all thank you for your video! I'm gonna try those out. I've been suffering from CTS for over a decade, and the ulnar nerve pops and hurts especially when I'm doing push-ups. If I keep doing these exercises will my CTS go away, or are these kind of more like a short-term relief exercises? Thanks again!
Hi. When you say “pop” what do you mean? Is it a small soft swelling just above your wrist? If so, did you manage to sort it out? Thank you.
Um, sorry to say, but I actually have no problems in my wrists.....it's more at the elbow for me....@@hazelem1266
I was facing the numbness for past 1-2 weeks and when I did these I got tingling effect on my pinky finger in the second last step i.e. just before stretching the neck(end of video)
What about just the middle finger tip if it numb
Hi ...I am facing the same issue for the last 2 years. Are these exercises helpful if the issue persists for this long?
how are you now?
Crazy thing, I’m worried but here it goes, this nerve for me is sensitive for sure, these help, but sometimes when I breathe out or push like a cough, I get this nerve shocking from my chest to my elbow, it’s not painful it’s just nerve shock sorta. Is this something I can fix with these techniques?
i have this in both the hands, what should i do now
I did the first excercise and the pain got worse. Absolutely no relief. Is this normal and have to do several reps before relief is expected?
Hi I am a stroke survivor and my right side was affected. Do you have any suggestions how I can get my right hand to start working again?
Can someone tell me how long it takes to rid yourself of the numbness after these techniques ? I just started
Hand and arm been numb and in pain for a full month now after I damaged I at work any ideas doctor just gave me a load of tablets that did nothing
Both my little finges ring fingers move together...I cannot move one hand finger alone....
If I move one the other hand's finger also move the same way automatically...what is the reason?
A partir de quand doit on se faire operer ?. Si l emg montre une souffrance ....?...
I have tons of numbness and pain. So I should not do these exercises?
Exactly same im feeling form 1 month after a very long drive on my sports bike..
Im in fear.
Will it be fine or what should i do 😭😭
did it get better?@@abhishekbsws
Hie Michelle, so I’ve had these exact symptoms for over a year now after i got into a terrible car accident and broke my left wrist, i had an external fixator for about 8 weeks. Now my pinky finger doesn’t straighten up at all and the numbness and tingling feeling is always there on half of the ring finger and my pinky. Ive tried 4 physiotherapists and it doesn’t seem to be changing. Wonder if you could help me by any chance
how are you now?
Can someone please tell me what this is I’m going through. In both hands at the same time, my pinky and ring finger start to tingle. Then seconds later both hands start to buzz extremely hard like all my fingers and my wrists. To the point where I have to park my car cause I can’t use my hands I’ll crash. My fingers feel like they are bending backwards by themselves and my thumbs feel as if they are twisting. My hands sort of lock up and it’s hard to move my wrists and fingers. It hurts and i my hands kinda look like they are stuck in half open but straight fingered way like this 🤏 but my thumb is stuck straight up. It lasts 10 minutes or so and after I’m very shaky like my hands are weak and very shaky. Right before this happens I have a funny feeling in my heart. One time when this happened it went to my jaw and I had slurred speech. Scary.. this only happens when I’m in the car but it’s happened when I wasn’t even driving just the passenger in the car. It’ll happen once a day for about a week or so. Then it’ll go away for like a month or so then all the sudden come back. What is happening.
I have ingling and nimbness already
I have these symptoms from my elbow to my 2 baby fingers. It feels asleep. The most discomfort is in my wrist and forearm.
this is me i think mine is a repetitive game injury from holing controller too tight and holding pinky strange while playing keyboard games
omg ive been pinching my pinky for five minites because it's been throbbing irritably and it's still there. following this exercise just 2 minutes it's gone now.
What if I experience tingling after the first exercise itself?
What it's gone just like that?????? I only do like 5 reps and it's gone already?? Bruh im confused and also very relieved.
This is what’s going on with my left pinky finger and half of my ring now. I’ve tried to shake it off but thought maybe it was just asleep but been experiencing last 5 to 7 hours not sue what to do
did anything helped u with this?
I wake up like 5 times at night at first i didn't undesrtood why now I know, even when i type keyboard it's so strange like i don't feel what i push..
I have been experiencing pinky and ring finger numbness full time since last week any tips on how to possible help it heal?
Same me
I had ankle surgery 3 weeks ago and my pinky and half ring finger has been numb since
@@Jesus_Fixcrutches can irritate those nerves.
