What are the symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome?

See your healthcare provider if you've had the following symptoms for more than six weeks or if they're severe. You could get muscle wasting in your hand if you wait too long to get treatment for the compressed nerve. But if you do get treatment, your symptoms should improve or go away.

Symptoms of cubital tunnel syndrome include:

• Difficulty moving your fingers when they’re numb or tingling (falling asleep).
• Numbness in your hand and fingers that comes and goes.
• Pain on the inside of your elbow.
• Tingling in your hand and fingers that comes and goes.

Inner elbow pain and numbness and tingling in your hand are the most common symptoms. This happens most often when your elbow is bent. Your elbow might be bent when you:

• Drive.
• Hold a phone.
• Sleep.
