This doesn’t sound right. I doubt the nerve pain is that uniquely specific based on a full or partial tear. Are we talking about Tommy John here? Because that’s damage to a ligament and not a nerve

Yes. I’ve had Tommy John. When the ligament goes, the pain you feel is the nerve since it’s still intact yet being “stretched” without the protection of the ligament stabilizing the joint. A partial tear can mean just a tingle. A full tear can be painful. Throwing after either hurts.

I’m not a doctor and I don’t know the why but I’ve been around baseball and tingling sensations in the hand is a classic symptom of a UCL tear.

The way that whole sequence played out reminded me of when it happened to Eric Walker in Omaha.

The way he shook the arm and with how quickly they yanked him makes me want to bet my life it's tommy john.
