Ulnar Nerve Transposition Surgery - Update
I figured I would take a minute and update my status after 3 months. My elbow is still very tender and hurts when touched in certain ways, like if its bumped or I set it down on a table. My arm is still very stiff and the elbow is numb as well, its a odd feeling and the tingling in my pinky and ring finger still persists.
I go back to the doctor next week and we’ll see what he says, my nerve was pretty damaged and when I visited a month ago he said I would most likely still see improvement 2-5 years down the road. All-in-All I am not sure the surgery was really a total success the aching has gone away but the numbness hasn’t and that’s the part I am having trouble getting used too.
I’ll try to keep up on my updates on a more regular basis since people seem to be interested in sharing their experiences on my previous post.

Wow. That is rough. I hope things improve for you soon!
I am scheduled for ulnar nerve surgery 7/15/08 and am really upset about having to go through it.

I just found out that I need to have ulnar nerve transposition surgery. Has anyone had the surgery and can say that they returned to “normal” after it? If so, how long did it take to get to that point?
I had ulna nerve transposition on Aug 20, 2008. It’s now six weeks since the op (anterior tranposition according to surgeon). I am still swollen slightly, numb a lot, tingling and very tender to touch and painful inside. I also often get stabbing pains in the elbow and wound area, and now and then weakness whereby I can’t hold things as I seem to feel a jolt going to my hand.
When are these problems going to subside.
Can anyone share some light, or having same problems as me weeks after surgery.
I can do more with my arm as each week goes by, so the muscle seems ok, it’s just the other problems.
