PDA

View Full Version : Ulnar Nerve Problem, not in wrist, elbow or neck

Just had an EMG and a NCS and was told I have motor and sensory loss involving the ulnar nerve in both hands. I was aware of the left hand, the reasoning for the tests...doc thought it was an ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (cubital tunnel syndrome). The neurologist also tested the right hand. It is affected also, but not as bad as the left hand.

Was told I have carpal tunnel syndrome...who doesn't...but am concerned with the numbness and motor function in the hands with pinky and half of ring finger. EMG and NCS indicates there is an ulnar nerve problem but it's not in the wrist, elbow or neck. Have another appointment on August 10 with neurosurgeon who I am told will probably order an MRI. Anyone have a similar issue and what was the outcome?

Thanks,
Cathy
