ULNAR NERVE INJURY?
numbness,tingling in small finger and ringfinger left hand (almost 1 month now) saw GP after 1 week of symptoms starting.
No pain as such, only when touching elbow(mild pain)
Just finished course of prednisone tabs (30), but no improvement.
Is this normal, and should I be concerned.
Trying not to bend elbow too much.
Are there excercises one can do, as the numbness is strong
in little finger especially after using the hand.

Does sound like an injury to the nerve - much depends on "how" you suffered the injury!! Nerves that are injured generally do take quite a while to recover completely. If you are very much concerned - a visit to a neurologist may set your mind at ease.
