Numbness or tingling in your last two fingers could be Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. This syndrome is also called Ulnar Nerve Entrapment.
Here’s how it works: Nerves can be trapped by bones or muscles. Either way the nerves don’t like it. Makes them crabby. And then they cause symptoms.
Speaking of symptoms…that is what you feel; a symptom. If you have a bunch of symptoms, then it is called a syndrome.
Your symptoms may feel like burning, numbness, tingling or pain.
Just as with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, muscles are most often at the
root of the Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. And that’s good because muscles can be treated.
I want you to see an educational page but I don’t want you to think ‘surgery’ first thing. While there are surgical techniques to help move the nerve into an area where it won’t be pressed upon you may have other options (keep reading here.) Here’s the link to the descriptive page with pictures of the ulnar nerve path: Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
But I’m a big fan of doing the most natural and least invasive thing first when that’s an option.
So the first step I would take would be to figure out what I am doing to cause these symptoms and stop doing it.
The next step would be to manually take the pressure off the nerve either with do-it-yourself massage or with professional massage therapy.
Nerves heal much more slowly than bones or muscles but if you take the pressure off a nerve it CAN heal. And muscles cause probably about 90% of our symptoms one way or another.
If your symptoms match the photo you can see the whole path of the nerve that’s at fault. A nerve that long can have many places where it is being pressed on by bone or muscle.
The page does have some non-surgical options but none of them involve simple manual manipulation of muscles (also known as massage therapy.)
Massage therapy would be my personal first treatment choice to try to get rid of the pressure on the ulnar nerve naturally.
