Hi all,
I had ulnar nerve transposition on October 27, 2009. I am a little over 3 weeks post op and am still in horrible pain.My surgeon told me that this was a difficult surgery, but I can't believe how long it is taking to heal.
A little history. I had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery in late January. Went back to work for only 3 weeks, and lifted an orthopedic tray and felt a pop. I originally thought the pop was in the wrist. Three days later, I started having numbness in my ring and pinky finger. Long story, which I will try to make shorter, workmans' comp said that the ulnar neuropathy was not related to the injury. Anyway, finally had the surgery, and I must say that the numbness is gone in the fingers, but it is now numb from the elbow down about 6 inches to the wrist. Anyone experience anything like this? And how long will the healing pain continue? I am still having to take pain medication, and am also on Lyrica.

I had the surgery mar 2010...I have some sensitivity around the scar. What scares me is that the feeling and strenght was coming back and about 2 wks ago it took a turn for the worst...now its getting numb again...Its getting to the point where it was before the surgery...I have trouble gripping things. Anyone have this problem...and now I think the other hand is getting the same way.
