What Causes Ulnar Pain With A History Of Ankylosing Spondylitis?
I am having terrible L ulnar pain. The pain is actually just laternal to my ulna and slightly under it approximately 2 1/2 to 3 inches distal from my elbow. I have been doing a lot of excessive typing lately and have a history of ankylosing spondylitis. Could I have pulled my Flexor carpi ulnaris just with over use?

Hello
As per your history there is possibility of nerve entrapment ,possibly ulnar nerve near elbow.
Use of physiotherapy machine can reduce your pain and swelling, you can ask your physiotherapist for therapy for ulnar tunnel syndrome
Use ice packs to reduce inflammation .
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus ].
