Tingling in the fingers

[jima7011]

Hi,

Recently at work I banged my elbow pretty good and since then my pinky and ring fingers have been tingling with a little numbness. Nothing really debilitating but I am a little concerned. Is this a disqualifying thing? I currently hold a 3rd class (was a 1st class but it has expired down to a 3rd).

Also, if it clears up on it's own, is it something worth mentioning on my next physical?

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you bruised your ulnar nerve. This usually goes away but if not it is still not DQ.

Whew, that's a relief!

As always, thank you Dr. Forred
