Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

First thing to do in your dad's case is to get done nerve conduction study and EMG of the affected limb.

If there is found a nerve entrapped, (median or ulnar), a minimally invasive surgical procedure may be necessary to treat it.

Discuss with your father's primary care Doctor about these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Greetings.
