Ulnar nerve damage?

I'm not sure what you are asking about ulnar nerve damage, but here is some basic information. I know more about this nerve than others because I personally experienced problems with it. Your ulnar nerve starts in your shoulderblade area and runs down the side of your arm to the outside of your hand and outside two fingers. When this nerve is affected, you feel differences in senses along these sights. In my case, my shoulder had been essentially hanging in my socket for months (the ligaments had all been stretched beyond capacity) and the result was swelling of my bursa sack, putting pressure on this nerve. I experienced very painful tremors down my arm, occasionally lost feeling in my outer fingers, and sometimes dropped things because my fingers would not respond correctly. However, after steroid shots (which reduce swelling) these symptoms improved (but did not disappear). After corrective surgery, the feeling slowly came back and now I have almost full function in these outer fingers (1+ years later). So, one can experience both pressure on the nerve (which has similar but not permanent affects to damage) and one can have damage. With either one you will have similar effects (the nerve is pressured so firing is sporadic, intermittent, and not functional) but with damage the problems will not go up and down in severity. It will be steady. If you suspect either, go to a doctor. If you just wanted to know the symptoms, there you go. p.s. don't mess with nerve damage--unless you want permanent problems
