How I Recovered From Tiny Finger Stiffness Without Surgery Under 12 Weeks In Tustin

Year 2016 - I was in Tustin, California. One morning I woke up and realised that tiny finger of my left hand had no movement. I saw a big gap between ring finger and tiny finger. Also, I realised there is stiffness in my left hand palm. I thought may be something which can be fixed by oil massage so I started doing oil massage of my left hand (fingers + palm) everyday with mustard oil. But things didn't change even after a week. I tried some of suggestions given on internet e.g. putting towel across elbow while sleeping, doing some exercises but no luck.

In the end I had to visit physician, he suggested to visit neurologist. I took appointment and visited where neurologist did x-ray and showed me report. He told that you have 'Cubital Tunnel Syndrome'. Ulnar nerve entrapment occurs when the ulnar nerve in the arm becomes compressed (squeezed or restricted) or irritated. The ulnar nerve is one of the three main nerves in your arm. It travels from your neck down into your hand and can be constricted in several places along the way, such as beneath the collarbone or at the wrist. The most common place for compression of the nerve is behind the inside part of the elbow. Ulnar nerve compression at the elbow is called cubital tunnel syndrome.

The treatment he suggested was elbow surgery. Also, suggested some exercises and towel to put across elbow while sleeping. I was taken a back after hearing surgery. I came home and then I talked to one of my colleague whose father was practicing homeopathy in India. She connected me with her father over a phone call, he asked me some questions. He suggested one medicine which was couriered to me at my place.

I took one tablet as prescribed by him. For about 3 weeks, I saw nothing. In 4th week I started seeing some movement in my tiny finger. But no progress after that. We were in 7th week and I was very impatient that no further results are coming. He advised me to be patient as we have to wait for next dose. As 8th week passed, he suggested me to take one tablet. It took nearly 10-12 weeks, some exercises, two tablets, towel across elbow while sleeping every night, to recover. I still thank my friend and her father who saved me from surgery.
