Do you ever feel numbness, tingling or pain in your forearm and hand, especially the pinkie and ring fingers? You might have cell phone elbow.

This isn’t something that doctors just made up recently. It’s a real condition known as cubital tunnel syndrome.

It’s caused by compression of the ulnar nerve when the elbow is flexed for a long time.

You’ve probably never heard of the ulnar nerve before, but you’ve felt it. It causes pain when you hit your “funny bone.”

Is there a cure? If it gets bad enough, surgery is necessary.

But the fixes are much easier than that. Use hands-free phone accessories more often. And switch hands every ten minutes when you’re on a long call.
