The early symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome usually respond to stopping the activity that is causing the symptoms. The amount of time you perform tasks that require repeated bending and straightening of the elbow should be reduced. Take frequent breaks from work- at least five minutes every half an hour. If the symptoms are worse at night because you sleep with your elbow bent, a thin pillow may be wrapped around the elbow to splint the elbow in a straight position.

If the symptoms fail to respond to activity modifications and an elbow splint, surgery may be required to stop progression of damage to the ulnar nerve. The operation moves the ulnar nerve from behind the medial epicondyle to the front of the medial epicondyle. This gives the nerve some slack and removes the stretching of the nerve.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) helps carpal tunnel syndrome. See Dr Whitaker's Guide to Natural Healing (available from Alibris.com) for advice on that condition. What applie to carpal may well work for cubital.
Also read The Aspirin Alternative for other interesting ideas on the natural treatment of painful conditions. Curcumin and Bromalein caps or tablets may give some relief. Monavie juice often helps people with painful inflammatory conditions.

If you mean Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (?) It is rare that you would need surgery. The doctor just gave me some hand braces to wear at night while I sleep .. keeps your fingers and thumb in one place and gives your wrists a change to rest. Don't worry about surgery. It is not that common. Good luck ! :)

The stress of wrist usage often allows one or more of the little bones of the wrist to become a bit out of place... most cases of carpal tunnel syndrome respond to the correction of that displacement.. about the only professional who would consider this method would be your local chiropractor. A very simple and rapid procedure.. non painful and rather pleasing sensation when completed.

If the pinky of the left han feels numbs or feels like passing electricity, it si a CUBITAL SYNDROME. The real treatment is surgery if it is severe, but to reduce the numbness and the pain: 1. strengthening the elbow flexors and extensor --- do arm exercise. 2. avoid ulnar entrapment---- try no t to flex to much your elbow. 3. decrease activity where it exacerbates your symptoms. 4. use an elbow pad and /or night splinting for 3 months if the symptoms are mod. but if severe use a reverse elbow pad that vcovers the antecubital fossa 5. if constant pain, use the rigid thermoplastic spit in 45 degree THIS SHOULD REDUCE YOUR SYMPTOMS, but if not , consider going to an HAND SURGEON.....

The only thing I can think of is try not to use it very much. I worked in a poultry processing plant for awhile and the circulation in my hands started to get bad. I changed jobs and after a few years they got okay.

Sorry, I thought you meant carpal.
