Suggest Treatment For Shooting Pain From Elbow And Numbness In Fingers
What do they do for Ulnar problems like pinky and ring finger numbness, sore elbow all the time, and pain shooting from elbow toward wrist?? I go in for shoulder replacement in two weeks then 3 mo later he is going to do surgery on the Ulnar nerve or something like that?
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Get it done nerve conduction studies, use tablet Pregabalin. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
