Cyclist palsy describes a condition where there's inflammation of the
ulnar nerve, which is a nerve that travels through the arm and into the
hand and provides both feeling and motion of the hand.
This condition generally presents with numbness and tingling in the
fourth and fifth digit of the hand, as well as occasional pain in the
forearm. However, if left untreated it can go on to muscle wasting in
the hand and loss of grip strength.
