Pinched/compressed ulnar nerve Report

A pinched or compressed nerve occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues, such as bones, cartilage, muscles or tendons disrupting the nerve's function, causing pain, tingling, numbness or weakness. Hitting the "funny bone" refers to aggravating the ulnar nerve.
