We know that the human body is a perfect machine. It is therefore important to take care of it every day. A healthy and balanced lifestyle would go a long way in staying healthy for as long as possible. Therefore, limit stressful situations, sleep at least 8 hours a night, eliminate smoking and minimize alcohol consumption. But a balanced diet and adequate physical activity are also not to be underestimated.
Our body is in constant connection with us. Pain and discomfort are some signs to be taken into consideration and that make us understand the presence of a problem. So it is very important to listen to the signs that the body throws at us and try to interpret them. For example, the lack of minerals and vitamins could cause imbalances in our body and knowing how to interpret the signals could help us understand it and find a solution.
Strange tingling in the fingers, hand weakness and elbow pain may be due to this often underestimated syndrome.
We therefore know how important it is to listen to the signals that our body sends us. In fact, for example, it could happen to feel a strange discomfort or tingling in the last two fingers of the hand. This phenomenon would happen while we are lying down and have our arms stretched upwards. It is often underestimated, but this symptom may be due to the cubital tunnel syndrome. We are talking about a pathology caused by the crushing of the ulnar nerve at the elbow.
Cubital tunnel syndrome could depend on some factors: too intense sport, poor posture, trauma, arthrosis of the elbow and so on. Furthermore, this syndrome could manifest itself through a strange tingling in the fingers, weakness of the hand and its numbness. In the most severe cases there is also a limitation of normal movements. The most affected fingers are the ring and little fingers.
What needs to be done
When the first symptoms appear, it is essential to listen to the opinion of a specialist. If the condition occurs at an early stage, your doctor may only recommend that you change some daily habits. If, on the other hand, the syndrome is already in the acute phase, a brace to be used during the night could be proposed to avoid excessively and sharply bending the elbow. In addition to physiotherapy. In very severe cases, the doctor may also decide to have surgery. It is always essential to seek the advice of an expert, who will assess the situation and decide the best path to take.
