Pain

Ulnar nerve entrapment may cause pain in the hands or inside the elbow. The pain in the hands is likely to be felt in the ring and pinky fingers. Drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen and other over-the-counter pain relievers, may help reduce pain and inflammation.

Pain stems from nerve damage and may manifest in several forms, such as a stabbing sensation or dull ache and may range from annoying to debilitating.
