How Do I Use the Elbow Immobilizer for Cubital Tunnel Surgery Recovery?
The recovery process following cubital tunnel release surgery will vary from person to person. In some cases, it may take several weeks, while in others it could take several months until the elbow and forearm muscles are feeling 100% again. Symptoms such as numbness and tingling will either improve quickly or could take up to several months to fully go away. If you want to ensure your elbow can make a full, quick, and effective recovery, wearing an immobilizer splint such as this one can be a huge help. This arm brace can support and protect your elbow from any painful, or potentially dangerous movements. Plus, thanks to the soft and comforting materials the brace is made of, you can wear this brace overnight, preventing movements that are out of your control as you sleep.
Cubital Tunnel vs Carpal Tunnel: What’s The Difference?
You’ve heard of the terms, but what exactly is the difference between carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome? The two conditions are very similar, as they both are the result of nerve compression. However, the damaged nerve takes place in different locations, depending on the condition. Cubital tunnel is the compression of the ulnar nerve, causing painful symptoms directly at your elbow. On the other hand, carpal tunnel is the compression of the median nerve, causing pain in your wrist. But, don’t let carpal tunnel fool you, while most pain will occur in your wrist, it can also work its way up to your forearm to your elbow.
Does This Splint Work for Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow Treatment?
The first step to relieving pain caused by an elbow condition is to truly understand what the condition is and what may have caused it. Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, occurs when the tissue connecting the forearm muscle to the elbow becomes irritated. This is likely caused by overuse of the wrist and arm due to repetitive motions, such as playing tennis or other sports, working, or physical exercise. Golfer’s elbow, otherwise known as medial epicondylitis, causes pain on the inner side of the elbow due to repetitive stress or forceful wrist and finger movements. The treatment process for these two conditions is very similar, which includes rest, ice, pain relievers, stretching, and bandaging or splinting. This elbow protector brace comes in handy during recovery from these conditions because it prevents your arm from making any movements that may cause additional pain or injury. On top of that, it will also provide effective compression and support to your injured arm.
