CEREBROSPINALECTOMY
My hand fell asleep on the couch and I spent four honest minutes deciding whether it was ulnar or median. It was the couch. Ulnar or median. Four minutes. On a couch. This is what seventeen years does to a person. Send this to the neurologist who cannot turn it off.
EXPLAINED (ACCURACY-CHECKED)
Transient paresthesia from sustained external nerve compression resolves with repositioning; ulnar and median neuropathies produce different sensory distributions in the hand (ulnar: 5th and medial 4th digit; median: 1st-3rd and lateral 4th).
Established peripheral nerve anatomy and standard hand sensory distributions.
