Hello, I see you are asking "What is ulnar-mammary syndrome?" Schinzel syndrome, also known as ulnar-mammary syndrome, is a rare inherited disorder characterized by abnormalities of the bones of the hands and forearms in association with underdevelopment (hypoplasia) and dysfunction of certain sweat (apocrine) glands and/or the breasts (mammary glands) orthopedicshealth. com/condition/ulnar-mammary-syndrome/c/39134
It depends on how the condition was aquired.
The treatment plan for diabetic neuropathy depends on your symptoms and the type of neuropathy that you have. Treatment focuses on reducing current symptoms and preventing the condition from getting worse.
Some of the symptoms of early diabetic neuropathy include tingling, burning and numbness. It can be treated by wearing fitting footwear and wear them all the time to prevent foot injury.

The Mayo clinic has a website with complete listings of the symptoms. Between the Mayo clinic and your personal doctor keeping up with symptoms and treatments should be easy.
Yes, and that is a great question. Some lay people refer to ulnar neuropathy as carpal tunnel of the elbow. Really what is happening is that the ulnar nerve which comes from the neck down the arm and through the elbow joint on into the 4th and 5th fingers gets pinched or compressed in some way. Ulnar neuritis/neuropathy has been called "draftmans elbow" because the resting of the forearm on the edge of table when drawing out plans etc..compresses this nerve causing numbness and tingling of the 4th and 5th fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome on the other hand involves another nerve that originates from the neck and travels along a similar pathway and goes through the wrist area and fans out into index, middle and half of ring finger. This median nerve gets compressed and causes numbness and tingling in those fingers.
Perpheral neuropathy refers to the conditions that result when nerves that connect to the brain and spinal cord from the rest of the body are damaged or diseased. The most common symptoms of perpheral neuropathy are tingling, numbness, and loss of sensation in the arms and legs.
