I hit been bouncing around from doctor to doctor and apiece seems to provide me a different diagnosis for the ginglymus pain I've been experiencing. My primary pain is around the olecrenon process and medial epicondyle. I've been experiencing exciting in my ordinal and ordinal digits as well as damaged grip, especially in those two fingers. Bending the ginglymus up causes pain and I've started wearing a brace at night. I've been doing physical therapy twice a hebdomad and my physical therapist beleives it is a problem with my ulnar nerve. I've had x-rays (normal) and an tomography (small render effusion, everything else normal). My large question relates to the doctor I just saw, he says I hit bicep redness correct about my ginglymus joint. Wouldn't redness show up in the tomography (the images extend about 10 cm above the ginglymus joint)? Correction: he thinks it is redness of the triceps, not biceps.

An tomography module exhibit an edema that might be inform and any "tears" in a tendon, but it module not exhibit tendonosis, per se as true tendonosis (the preferred term for tendonitis) is an abnormality at the molecular level. I would agree with your therapist that it sounds like a nerve entrapment syndrome. Tendonosis of the biceps should not normally result in tingling and/or imperfectness in your grip.

Look at the scheme site below. It sounds similar to your description. Your physical therapist could substantially be right.

I conceive the therapist is partly precise in stating that the problem is in the ulnar nerve. The problem is most probable coming from the neck. The nerves that curb the limb come from the cervix and since the studies hit come back negative then it clearly is pointing to a place superior to the elbow. Have you been to a neurologist? I would suggest that they look between the elbow and the neck. You could hit a problem at the neck, brachial plexus, or in the upper arm. Have the physical therapist do a preliminary check of those areas to rule discover some pathology. Do you hit some history of cervix or margin problems?
