hi, I m a guy, 24..... ....i m diagonosed with ulnar nerve compression causing weakness in my ring finger......i was wondering if this will go away with the vitamin tablets (mec gla) and NSAID s (etody 90) that i m taking along with care to see that i dont apply pressure on the elbow region or is it a reccuring disease?........I spend a lot of time -close to 4 hours a day playing guitar so i was wondering if that might aggravate the problem due to the bent elbow position.......Thanks a lot
Hello, Ulnar nerve compression and median nerve compression in common in guitarist and violin players. I shall advise you to have a nerve conduction velocity study. As early abnormal results can be improved with intervention like:- Decreasing hours of use on guitar-Using night splints to rest your hand-Using supplements Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
