I did. It was called a Subcutaneous Ulnar Nerve Transposition. They move the nerve from the groove that it normally is in and place it under the fat in your elbow to help cushion it. If you don’t repair it, and it gets to the stage where your fingers curl in then it can’t be repaired and the damage is permanent. I went to a hand surgeon. He also repaired the carpal tunnel on both hands. Quilting every day all day...
Thanks for the info smith. It’s nice to hear of a successful surgery! I will certainly consider it if absolutely necessary. Due to my other chronic I am issues, I would hate to be immobilized for a very long since if I don’t do stretches the intersection syndrome and radial tunnel syndrome in my forearm really get tight. I might end up with a great elbow and not being able to use my wrist!
Anyway, I went to an ortho today and I’m going to get a nerve conduction study. And from there we will see what happens. I told him my concerns about my other injuries and he was very knowledgeable about those and willing to work around them. Unlike the first orthopedist I went to who wanted to jump into surgery and said I would be just fine with the other problems. I’m not sure he even understood what they were!
That first one wasn’t a hand specialist so that figures. I had an awesome hand specialist in LA that that did my other surgeries and I sure wish I could go back to her. Oh well, I have to pray the Lord has The best outcome in mind! And he leads me to the doctor I’m supposed to have.
i meant sissy....stupid dictation...
