Can changing elbow position during sleep help little-finger tingling?
Author: Dr. Jiwu Chen
Doctor’s answer
With ulnar nerve compression at the elbow, avoiding prolonged deep bending and pressure may help. A clinician may suggest a night splint. Persistent numbness, weakness or muscle wasting needs prompt assessment.
