Ulnar Nerve Entrapment 23-Jan-2012 At 9:30:21 PM dmnz

How long have you had the issue? How bad was/is it for you? Ever considered surgery. Seems to be the only long term cure. Looks like leaving it could lead to longer term musculoskeletal issues and muscle wasting.

Initially I thought it may have been overuse and golfer's elbow but pretty sure it's some sort of ulnar nerve issue now. The bent elbow position is bad for it and leaning on it too.

It obviously affects climbing, esp things like locking off not so much daily tasks except pain.

But it's not really getting better. Going to get another opinion or two and maybe look at a more permanent fix.

It is a problem for flying (paragliders) as bent elbow is required all the time, sometimes with more force applied. Got more pain from that the other day on short glides than climbing, though the latter has been light and short.
