What Causes Stinging Pain In Proximal Ulna?
Question: stinging pain proximal ulna made worse with contact no known trauma
Brief Answer:
Can be due to nerve compression.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The stinging pain in the proximal ulna with no history of trauma is likely to be related to ulnar nerve compression or inflammation or tendonitis. Most commonly it is caused by a tennis elbow or cubital tunnel syndrome.
You can help the improvement by-
1. Give adequate rest to the arm.
2. Apply heat therapy.
3. Get some anti-inflammatory medication prescribed from your orthopedician.
4. Immobilize the arm for a short period.
5. Soft tissue therapy can be used to break down adhesions that may be restricting the nerve.
6. Neural stretching exercises are helpful under the care of a physiotherapist.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
