What part of the body does nerve entrapment affect?
refer to a particular type of pinched nerve, in which peripheral nerves are chronically compressed resulting in pain or loss of function in an extremity. The most common nerve entrapment syndromes affect the median, ulnar and radial nerves of the arms.
What causes ulnar nerve entrapment syndrome?
Most commonly, trauma to the elbow or repetitive bending of the elbow puts pressure on the ulnar nerve that damages the myelin sheath insulating and protecting the nerve.
What is suprascapular nerve entrapment?
a rare type of entrapment syndrome that most often occurs in athletes. The major symptom is a dull pain near the shoulder blade, which can progress to weakness and muscle atrophy.
How do you relieve a trapped nerve?
The answer truly depends on the severity of the ulnar entrapment and the location of the ulnar nerve entrapment. Milder ulnar nerve entrapments can sometimes be relieved with physical therapy and bracing the arm in a position that lessens pressure on the ulnar nerve. Moderate entrapments of the ulnar nerve may respond to physical therapy combined with a steroid injection to relieve inflammation. More severe entrapments may require surgical interventions. The most common location for an ulnar nerve entrapment is at the elbow, this is called an ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE). When this is severe the surgical procedure that is utilized is referred to as a surgical transposition of the ulnar nerve & involves moving the ulnar nerve from the back of the elbow to the front of the elbow. Speak with a neuromuscular specialist regarding your case if you feel that you have an ulnar entrapment, and always keep in mind that you may want to get a second opinion. Be prepared for the possibility of an electrodiagnostic examination. This test would help determine if ulnar nerve is involved, where along the ulnar nerve the lesion is, & how severe the ulnar nerve lesion is.
