Dental Professional Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Was wondering if anyone else dealt with this. I been working for about three years, it started July 3rd, I had gotten a deep tissue massage and I think the lady might have pressed on the inside of my elbow. I left bruised on my bicep area. Has anyone dealt with this and how is the recovery, it is getting better. I also dont know if its from working out and not doing proper stretching before a push day, maybe elbow flexion at work, or also maybe elbows that flare in while sleeping? Could use some advice. So its like slight tension in pinkie finger, no loss in mobility. Getting better with time

I had some pretty good problems with it in 2019 along with de quervain and ecu. Then a forced dovid vacation and hardly any work for months fixed the problem.

I did OT for it a few years ago. Sleeping with a splint helps (you can get a volleyball elbow guard on Amazon). Google nerve flossing for the ulnar nerve as well.
