I am having concern as my fingers are out of control. My pinky will not respond and sticks straight out when typing or anything else. My 2 fingers near my thumb are won't get near each other. The pinky hurts. Its definate ulnar nerve related. I still have sore spot in Brachial area. Another EMG is scheduled. I have mess of nerves in right arm. Radial, ulnar, brachial, and median but pinky is very sore and out of control. Can't raise my right arm above my head either. left pinky is also starting to show signs of sticking out too. Anybody else have such problems with pinky?

Billy- sorry to hear about your typing troubles. I have lots of pinkie/ring finger problems in things that require fine motor control or finger strength- like typing, opening jars, bags of chips, etc. They aren't comfortable, but the only thing that has helped that particular problem are finger exercises.

Hi billy , have you had any kind of therapy for those problems?
Nerve glides?? It has to be from nerve /nerves somewhere being compressed or pinched. Similar to the "clawing" that some get. Hard part is finding the exact culprit I guess , but the drs /Pts should have some ideas about it.

Yes, seem to think ulnar nerve is problem. Emg will be upcoming to check. The fingers have worsened so much lately. When reching out I notice plexus pain and under elbow pain.

Yes, all familiar.
And I would guess that typing is a big NO NO. Can you get voice software? |

My pinky sticks out too when I type...looks funny doesn't it? My hand does not open like the other hand (not as wide spread I guess you would say) and I tend to keep my hand in a fist cuz it is more comfortable (even though I know this is prob a bad idea)
I definately have some sort of unlar involvement...there appears to be some adhessions in the elbow area. Working alot with a chiro doing ART to help alleviate this...seeing some new docs in the new year as well. |
