Is there a difference between ulnar neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome?
Yes, and that is a great question. Some lay people refer to ulnar neuropathy as carpal tunnel of the elbow. Really what is happening is that the ulnar nerve which comes from the neck down the arm and through the elbow joint on into the 4th and 5th fingers gets pinched or compressed in some way. Ulnar neuritis/neuropathy has been called "draftmans elbow" because the resting of the forearm on the edge of table when drawing out plans etc..compresses this nerve causing numbness and tingling of the 4th and 5th fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome on the other hand involves another nerve that originates from the neck and travels along a similar pathway and goes through the wrist area and fans out into index, middle and half of ring finger. This median nerve gets compressed and causes numbness and tingling in those fingers.
