What are the Causes of Ulnar Nerve Entrapment?
Things that can contribute to the development of cubital/ulnar tunnel syndrome include:
Prolonged, repetitive use of the arm or elbow (including leaning on the elbow).
Elbow injuries: Any trauma (fractures, dislocations or sprains) can cause swelling or compression.
Medical conditions that can lead to nerve damage (like arthritis and diabetes).
Abnormal growths: Development of a tumor or cyst that presses against the nerve.
In some people, the nerve moves back and forth as the elbow is bent and straightened. Over time, this back and forth movement can irritate the nerve.

If you feel like needing an exoskeleton to go along with your cintiq open finger glove....there's this and this (forearm splint and elbow brace, check with your doctor for options).
