> Has anyone ever had ulnar nerve entrapment?I have it. I have had significant symptoms for greater than two years. Mine evolved from a simple ulnar neuropathy to become the more systemic neuropathy called complex regional pain syndrome.
> I'm about to have surgery in the next week or two to relieve the pain and numbness. I've been trying to find out what it is like and how recovery is. I can't find much online except how the surgery is done. I want to hear from people who have had this surgery or any of the related surgeries (carpal tunnel, medial nerve, etc). Anyone here have the experience or know of someone who has?
Our paths diverge already, as I did not have the surgery. Long story why not.
In my case, the nerve was thought to be too agitated? excited? whatever the term ought to be, to further aggravate it by moving it. It just never settled down enough that we could proceed with surgery.
I think I understand something of what you're going through. Happy to talk about it, here, or via babblemail.
