RecoveryRecovery position - series after ulnar nerveNerve biopsy Nerve conduction velocity transposition would be dependent on presence and severity of nerveNerve biopsy Nerve conduction velocity/muscle damage. Generally, it usually takes several months to recover with good results. Patients with nerve/muscle damage may need a longer recovery time. Nerves, unlike other tissues in the human body, take a long time to heal. Those with severe nerve/muscle damage may sometimes not achieve complete healing, thus having residual symptoms even after the surgery.
I also have not healed since my ulnar surgery in 1/25/08. I had a new nerve conduction test done and showed I have healed a hair only. Sounds like from your response my nerves must have been very damaged. My Dr. does not explain well.
I am having this surgery on the 30th of October - can anyone tell me what to expect - how long is the surgery?
What sedation is used? (Block - General)
How much pain will I be in right after the surgery
How about a few days later
If I have surgery on Thursday can I return to work on Monday
Thanks
Sandy

Hope this helps.
