What is Cubital tunnel?
Cubital tunnel syndrome is the compression or stretching of the “funny bone nerve” at the elbow. This may be caused by a single injury, a culmination of multiple minor injuries, or simply normal wear and tear in the aging process. When the nerve becomes compressed and/or stretched it causes aching in the little finger side of the forearm and perhaps into the hand. It also causes numbness and tingling in the small finger and perhaps part of the ring finger.
