:sad: I have developed a problem with the ulna nerve in my left elbow which is steadily getting worse.
Years ago I had tennis elbow and was given steroid injections to get rid of the pain as a result the fatty padding around the elbow has gone and so there is no protection in that area.
Now when I put my elbow or lower arm on the nail desk when supporting a clients hand, the ulna nerve gets inflammed and I end up with numbness in my little finger, the outside edge of my hand and outside edge of my ring finger.
This has now gotten to the point that they are numb all the time and the numbness is now spreading up to my wrist. I have tried putting something under my elbow to cushion it but it has made no difference. Has anyone else had a problem with this and if so what did they do about it? I suppose it is one form of RSI
