Where does the ulnar nerve get pinched??
Answers: I fell right on my elbow and the two smallest fingers went completely numb although it is better now, it was numb for years. I lost hand strength. I had a nerve test done and they said my ulner nerve was severely damaged, so it happened for me in the elbow.
i believe it is in the lower back
off to the left.
Isn't it in the elbow? I know the ulna is one of your two lower arm bones....
Are you referring to entrapment of the ulnar nerve? The most common place where the nerve gets compressed is behind the elbow. Sometimes it gets compressed at the wrist, beneath the collarbone, or as it comes out of the spinal cord in the neck.
In cubital tunnel syndrome the ulnar nerve is close to the surface and is pretty much stuck in the notch just inside the point of your elbow. It is very susceptible to trauma here (you can even feel the nerve with the fingers of your other hand). During an ulnar nerve transposition, the nerve is freed up and buried in a more forward location in the forearm.
However, the ulnar nerve travels from high in the armpit all the way down to your hand and 4th and 5th fingers, and it technically could get pinched at any place along its length.
