What is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome?

Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects the ulnar nerve where it crosses the inside edge of the elbow. The symptoms are similar to the pain you feel when you hit your "funny bone". When you hit your funny bone, you are actually hitting the ulnar nerve on the inside of the elbow, through a passage called the cubital tunnel. When this area is irritated from injury or pressure, it can lead to cubital tunnel syndrome.
