Cubital tunnel syndrome is not fun. :( I actually had to get surgery to have the ulnar nerve (which is the nerve in the cubital tunnel) relocated on both of my arms. This wasn’t due to phone use, but actually RSI issues.

I can’t believe they’re calling it “cell phone elbow”, though…

It’s only a problem on my mobile as I tend to use hands free at home.

I’m glad to hear that there’s a medical name for it though. I could probably use that to beef up my man flu claims :)
