Went to see doc William Filer - a renowned neurologist specialized in working with musicians handinjuries. After looking at the results of my Electro Myography test and doing some more investigations and in house testing on me he came up with my diagnosis - I have CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME. The Ulnar nerve goes from the elbow and all the way round your hand and fingers,, Now, I will be getting treatment from the occupational therapists. I hope it weorks well... I am willing to do whatever theyh tell me to do... ,Here is an excerpt from a medical site...I am still playing less and trying to stay away for any extended pickin. I can teach because I dont HAVE to play all the time I am with a student... Ulnar nerve entrapment occurs when the ulnar nerve in the arm becomes compressed or irritated. The ulnar nerve is one of the three main nerves in your arm. It travels from your neck down into your hand, and can be constricted in several places along the way. Depending upon where it occurs, this pressure on the nerve can cause numbness or pain in your elbow, hand, wrist, or fingers. Sometimes the ulnar nerve gets compressed at the wrist, beneath the collarbone, or as it comes out of the spinal cord in the neck. The most common place where the nerve gets compressed is behind the elbow. When the nerve compression occurs at the elbow, it is called cubital tunnel syndrome. orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00069
