Re: Cubital tunnel

Cupital Tunnel Symdrome is compensable if it was caused by your work.

The cubital "tunnel" is a channel which allows the ulnar nerve (commonly in the area of your "funny bone") to travel over the elbow.

Repetitive trauma from chronic compression of this nerve is known as "Cubital Tunnel Syndrome" and is a form of repetitive trauma/strain injury very similar to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome of the wrist.

Often surgery is required to relieve you of the problem and you probably need an attorney to handle your case.

Good luck,
