Ulnar Nerve Transposition Surgery – Update 2
Just another update on this situation. During the past two weeks I’ve had increased dull pain in my arm, spasms/cramping in my left hand and the incision is still very swollen, discolored and sensitive. It actually hurts to type because my fingers lock up and get very tired.
I go back to the doctor on Sep 05, but frankly I am not very optimistic. I’m questioning rather or not this surgery was worth it….

I am in Chicago this week for oracle workshop 2 training and figured while I was waiting, I would give the wordpress app for my iphone a test. It’s pretty slick I have to admidt.
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. 
Ulnar Nerve Transposition Surgery
On 3/17/08 I had surgery to correct a pinched nerve in my elbow. The pinched nerve was causing the pinky and ring fingers to be numb and tingle, also serve arm aching. Hopefully this surgery will correct the issue, however the pain right now is horrible. The nerve was relocated to forearm under the muscle. Here are some pictures of my arm taken 4 days after surgery.
