It could definitely be anywhere from the neck down, but with you wrenching on something it probably is carpal tunnel. That would be better than an ulnar nerve problem! an easy fix

I have a follow up tomorrow afternoon, so I'll see what they say.

I've had both hands go through the numbness and tingling, and it was my elbows. Lots of E-stim and ultrasound on the elbows worked wonders. It comes back about once a year. I do the treatments again, about twice a week for three weeks and then I'm good to go.
It could be all the things people have mentioned, obviously, but in my case it's a known issue and it's the elbows. early on it tends to start with my two small fingers and then progress down that edge of my palm to my forearms. if i let it go too long before starting treatment the numbness will affect my whole hand and forearm.
Oddly enough, taking a long layoff from pulling brings it on, too. I think once my body knows i'm taking a break it goes into "repair itself overdrive" and starts building up calcium in the nerve tunnels at my elbows.

I have had previous issues with my elbows when I was powerlifting, and the only pain I really have is in the elbows. The position of my wrists seems to do nothing to the tingling, but straightening my arms relieves the worst of it. |
