Effective for relieving nocturnal pain associated with cubital tunnel syndrome

I work in orthopedics so I think my expectations for this brace and treatment (night brace) are more realistic than most other reviewers. This brace, along with other night splints, is designed to relieve or reduce pain at night, which is usually the worst time for this type of syndrome, as people often lie for long periods with their elbows bent and putting pressure on the lunar nerve exercise . This brace relieves the pain and numbness associated with nocturnal compression of the ulnar nerve. It will also not completely eliminate daytime pain if worn only at night. As for the fit, I'm skeptical that people apply incorrectly. I have slim arms (bicep diameter: 11 inches, forearm diameter: 9.5 inches) and am an active/restless sleeper, and the small/medium size fits me well and hasn't fallen off after a week of wearing. Specifically for my case, I am currently suffering from severe cubital tunnel syndrome 24/7 due to being 8 months pregnant. My daytime pain and numbness remain the same, but my arm strength is much better when I wake up because my nerve is not compressed during sleep. My night pains have decreased. I would wake up every 1-2 hours with severe elbow and forearm pain, as well as numbness in the ulnar nerve (pinky, ring finger and 1/2 of the middle finger) which kept preventing me from falling asleep and preventing me from holding my hand . with a toothbrush or opening orange juice in the morning due to weakness caused by nerve compression. The support made it easier for me. I still sometimes wake up in pain from overexertion (the corset prevents more than 20 degrees of flexion and more than 5 degrees of hyperextension, but this rarely happens, and sleep quality has improved significantly and pain has decreased dramatically). In summary this brace has not reduced the pain 100% but has reduced it significantly and improved the quality of my sleep and the strength of my arms in the morning. I can't sleep without it and am very thankful I bought it got it If your night pain and numbness is severe and is interfering with your sleep and/or causing weakness then I highly recommend it! The most effective treatment is steroid injections, but the orthopedist will want to know that you tried conservative treatment first abrace.price, an effective first-line treatment option.
