HELLO
POST NATALLY MOST OF THE MOTHERS REQUIRE TREATMENT WITH NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS.
RING FINGER AND LITTLE FINGERS ARE THE AREAS SUPPLIED BY THE ULNAR NERVE. THE ULNAR NERVE LIES VERY SUPERFICIAL IN THE ELBOW. ANY TRIVIAL TRAUMA TO THE ELBOW CAN CAUSE SUCH SYMPTOMS
HAVING DELIVERED RECENTLY YOU DEFINITELY REQUIRE IRON AND MULTI VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTATION.
