Cubital Tunnel Syndrome...

[solo4652]

I've been told that my neck/arm/hand problems are due to Cubital Tunnel syndrome which may or may not have been exacerbated by playing bass. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is similar to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, but affects nerves at the elbow rather than the wrist/hand. Anybody else struggling with this?

I've never had it diagnosed, but I suspect that I have this. Mainly if I've been doing a lot of DIY  sort of stuff. never had it after playing bass though.

Go to a chiropractic/masseuse that knows hands. I had strange issues with my right hand years ago. I was leaning my right hand against the bass and it affected the circulation. I was told my hand was mostly lactic acid. After lots of massaging, my right hand started to work well.

 

If that does not work, meet a hand specialist. Tunnel may need some reworking.

Playing a gig aggravates my tennis elbow. However, having tissue work from an osteopath and wearing KT tape means it’s slowly getting better.

I was suprised whan I found out peoples nerves don't always follow the same route. In the situation we are talking about here that nerve sometimes goes round on the outside of the elbow, and in other people can go on the inside of the elbow.
