8. Diagnosis
The proper diagnosis of ulnar nerve entrapment is essential to avoid any loss of functions or sensation in the affected arm. Medical history and physical examination are important. Your doctor will ask about your overall health and any medications you are on or used to take.
Physical examination including bending your elbow and wrist to see if the symptoms will appear or not will also be conducted. During physical examination, the doctor will also check your muscle strength and sensation in the affected arm. X-rays and nerve conduction studies may also be needed to determine the severity and extent of the condition.
