Ulnar neuritis, also known as ulnar neuropathy, is a condition characterized by inflammation or irritation of the ulnar nerve, which runs from the neck down to the hand. This condition often results in symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling in the ring and little fingers, as well as weakness in hand grip. Common causes include prolonged pressure on the nerve, repetitive motions, or underlying conditions like Diabetes. Treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve.
Neuritis is inflammation of a nerve. There are different types of neuritis such as optic neuritis (affecting the optic nerve), cranial neuritis (involving the cranial nerves), and peripheral neuritis (affecting peripheral nerves outside the brain and spinal cord). Each type can have various causes and symptoms.
