Hi everyone. I’ve been reading all comments here, and it scared hell out of me. I’ve seen handsurgeon and am waiting for nerve study before surgery. My doctor said I will be getting intramuscular transposition. I noticed nobody had the surgery in this blog. Is there reason of not getting intramuscular surgery?
And for me, the ulnar nerve started rubbing on funny bone without any injury. I don’t know when it happened. I’ve had this for over 6years now.
How did you guys have this elbow problem??

I had the ulnar nerve surgery done the end of May this year. I was already taking 225 mg of Lyrica for back problems. Doc told me nerve was MUCH worse than he thought. Maybe because I was taking the Lyrica and didn’t feel it as much. I also had a muscle repair done on the outside of the elbow at the same time. The nerve problem seems to be fine but I still have pain in the elbow joint. I have great movement so don’t think it is scar tissue. Any ideas?

OMG!! 900mg of Lyrica

I took one 75mg and felt like had been partying with Cheeck & Chong for 16 hours. I didn’t remember any pain, but I didn’t remember anything else either

Good luck with the surgery. My Doctor told me that the Ulnar nerve heals at 1″ per month and is about 18″‘s long. Just make sure you do not skimp on the therapy. Although I still have pain my range of motion is back to 100%

I’m taking 900 mg of Lyrica every day and I still have pain. I will have to have surgery both arms. They will cut my left arm first, then two weeks later they will cut my right arm. I am very worried.

I know people in Australia who have gone to the “experts” best in their field and still had problems.

I must ad that my ulnar nerve transposition was successful. Take into consideration I made sure it was done by the head of sports science institute for elbows in South Africa. Experience has taught me that unless you’re really going to the expert of the experts (usually guys who handle all the countries International teams – in my case our countries Rugby team) you’re looking for trouble. Make 100percenet sure your Doc is the best of the best and make 100 sure you can’t do without the surgery. I waited 2 years, living with the tingling and numbness before eventually going for the op. I would say no less than 7 weeks before one can start judging the full effectiveness of the procedure and even then, it gets better with time. I had mine in April 2010 and except for the numb spot on the back of my elbow, I’m doing better than before the op. I was actually visiting the site to ask advice on how long after surgeyr one can start lifting weights again? Anyone know? Good Luck to all of you and Keep the Faith! That’s what makes the difference in the end!

Hi Danielle. I had ulnar nerve surgery in April 2010 partly due to overtraining of the tricep that caused the tunnel to collapse and the nerve to impinge but ALSO due to me having fallen over off my Harley (sold now) and onto the elbow, hard! I’ve read on websites that just the impact alone can cause ulnar nerve impingement. Also, a friend of mine whom was in a car accident had to have surgery on both her hands due to developing carpal tunnel syndrome. So anyone who says its not related is clueless. Hope it helps. My surgery went fine (I thank God for that!) But I still have a no sensation on the outside of the elbow. Anyway- Good Luck! Thinus
