Is this something worth seeing a Doctor?
I know we've seen our share of stupid medical help threads on CP but this one I think is a legit ask before rushing to the ER...

I got slammed on my right elbow in jiu jitsu class last Saturday landed on my 'funny bone' which I'm pretty sure is actually a nerve and can't feel the top of my pinky and ring finger on the same arm for almost a week now. I can write, control a mouse and everything else fine but there's no feeling.

I'm 99% sure it wasn't a stroke or anything just because of the way it happened and I can feel the tingle from elbow to finger tips but when do you see a doctor on this one?

It's kinda cool beating off tho, like getting a hand job from a reerun.

You pinched your ulnar nerve (funny bone). A week seems like a long time. I'd google it and see what you find out from that as I'm sure it's happened to plenty of others.

Never see a doctor for possible nerve damage!

Soak it in antifreeze, eat some rabbit and then use that arm to masturbate in the middle of the highway.

I think I'm giving it two weeks because I don't even know what a doctor would do without violating me. Just getting weird. Stuff like this usually goes away by now.

Just wondering if anyone experienced anything similar.

I just looked some stuff up for it. The dr. will give you meds. Then with the meds it'll take from a few days to a few months to go back to normal depending on how bad you pinched it.

Honestly, I'd give it a couple more days max.

Try taking a salt tablet. That should help.

Yeah, I looked up same stuff. Don't really believe in meds at this point. I think it's just a 'pincher' but never had one before like this. The color of the fingers and function is find just dead feel.

I'll wait and see if anyone has been there and keep exploring. Thanks.

You’re lucky that’s all it did. Getting slammed on your elbow that hard is the kind of thing broken shoulders are made from.

Had a broken shoulder, it's not that. Nerve stuff.

Oh I’m sure, that’s all it sounds like, just giving you the “count your blessings” speech.
Kinda like the ER doc stitching up your face and saying, “That’s why we call them ‘murdercycles’.”

The thing about pinch nerves is that it's like a sponge, the longer it's pinched or the force causing the pinch is severe the longer it takes to undo the dammage. So a sponge for an example is squished and takes time to go back to natural. That's how a nerve heals mostly on it's own but if a bone is crushing it then there could be longer term dammage to it.

That's how my back was. I had a bone fracture in my low back pinching a nerve and the pain was excruciating and I needed surgery, meds & epidurals did me no good.

Do you think 2 weeks is a fair amount of time or from your experience would you make a Saturday appointment? And what are they going to do anyway?

There's no discomfort, just tingle and dead finger tips.

I think it would depend on your level of pain tollerence on what you can handle. They can do an xray to see if there is a broken bone involved. I don't think meds will heal a broken bone but just make you feal less pain.

If you have no feelings in your fingers, I'd see a doctor about it if it continues with out noticable improvement in a day or so.
