KillJoy Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Okay, over the last week or two I have been having a numb / tingly feeling in my left pinky & ring finger. Also, the "funny bone" nerve in my elbow has felt weird. My insurance does not require me to have a referral, so..... Anyone recommend a Doc to take a look at this?

greg1647545532 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Can't answer your question, but just to give you some better talking points for the doc you do find: Cubital tunnel syndrome Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve is obstructed during its path along the cubital tunnel, the outer edge of the elbow. This compression of the nerve often leads to a tingling or 'pins and needles' sensation in the little and ring fingers. I recently researched the same problem and found some tips that have helped, but I still plan to follow up with a doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sucks. Good luck. It can act up pretty bad for me, too. But it's mostly in my wrists, thumbs, and pointer fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Idk if he does carpal tunnel stuff, but kirk sent me to dr. Brent bickel at cardinal ortho by mt carmel east. I know he focuses on hand/wrist stuff, so maybe itd be his area? He did good work when i busted my wrist in '11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 james popp at cardinal orthopedics did my carpal tunnel releases when i lived in columbus. brent bickel is another hand surgeon that works there, and is a personal friend of mine. both of them would be more than qualified to do a great job.
