[|Human|] Hello, I have symtoms of ulner nerve damage. I was using computer on a couple of occasions (not resting my elbow) when then side of my hand and little finger went numb after resting my hand and forearm on the table using the laptop w/o a mouse for hours. Is it possible that i damaged the nerve from the forearm forward. Going on 7 weeks. Thank you.
[|AI|]  Hi, Using computer mouse for very long hours can cause medial nerve compression, though ulnar nerve compression is rare, but it does cause that. I would suggest you to take some breaks to relax your fingers and wrist in between. Take some medicines available over the counters, you can use wrist splints as well. If your problem still persists, you should get some tests done:1. EMG/NCV of upper limb2. Sr It b12 Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
