I have a problem Tingling in Little finger and one next to it particularly when my elbow is bent so its especially a problem at night I think I have read this may be cubital tunnel and need to avoid leaning on elbow or bending it while asleep

Any ideas how I achieve this

    Hi. I have the same issue. It's very frustrating. Some nights I find myself constantly having to straighten my arm and stretch my fingers out. I haven't asked medical advice yet so no idea why it happens.

    I have carpal tunnel and have a splint to stop me bending my wrist and to keep it in the optimum position. It works so I was wondering what you can do to seep with your arm in the 'right' position to avoid this.....

    Have you tried putting your arm on a pillow even between two pillows so it won't bend easily?

    Sorry for the random ideas, but I'm not sure what else to suggest other than a trip to the Dr?
