Treatment of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Cubital tunnel syndrome may go away by itself. In other cases, you may need the following treatment to decrease your symptoms:
Medicines:
NSAIDs: These medicines decrease swelling and pain. NSAIDs are available without a doctor's order. Ask your healthcare provider which medicine is right for you and how much to take. Take as directed. NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding or kidney problems if not taken correctly.
Steroid: This injection helps decrease pain and swelling.
Surgery: You may need surgery to take pressure off your ulnar nerve. Your healthcare provider may move your nerve to a different area to stop it from being stretched or pinched. Your healthcare provider may remove part of your bone if it is pressing on your nerve.
