I am currently undertaking an Extended Project on Cubital tunnel syndrome which is the cell phone elbow, it is a Neurological injury and involves the Ulnar nerve that runs down the arm. Therefore I was wondering is anyone here is with this syndrome? Please if you don't mind can you please share your experience with me? Thank you so much! 

Does anyone know where could I get data and statistics for this syndrome? I have been looking everywhere online and books but I couldn't find any precise data and statistics so I can use to prove my Extended Project. 

Thanks everyone! Hope everyone is doing fabulous as always!

    I too have this and my dr has recommended the Ulnar Nerve Transposition surgery.  I am searching for an alternative because the recovery is very long and I cannot afford that.  I also have Carpal tunnel so it would be a double whammy.  He gave me a document that describes the problem, the surgery and the recovery process but there is no website listed so I am thinking they customized it.  However, for your project you could look up hand care dot org.  That is where they printed off the info on the carpal tunnel.  It might lead you to it.

    I also have been diagnosed with cubical tunnel syndrome. Like the other responder I will also be undergoing surgery to relocate the ulnar nerve and to clean up some tendon damage from an injury.   I had a similar issue with my other arm several years ago but had a difference procedure done. I had a medial epicondylectomy on that arm.   It is a little harder to find information on this. You can also search “golfers elbow”. 

    Good luck!!

    I suffered with that for years did physical therapy elbow compression and lots more. I ended up no better so had ulnar nerve transposition surgery it's only been 8 weeks ago but it's already 90% better I'm shocked it worked so well as I put it off forever I wish I had done it long ago.
