Hi Woodie263,

I need to have my Ulnar nerve moved in my left elbow as it keeps popping out of the groove. I also live in Adelaide and I was wondering what the waiting time was to have this done. Can you remember the name of your surgeon?

Cheers
Mark

It is a year since my Ulnar Nerve was operated on, and my little finger was bending more each day.  I am really happy now because my finger is very straight - I had an excellent surgeon in Adelaide Australia.  
Nevada hope that you are well, and you are doing well.

Will be interested to hear how you get on after your surgery.  I had a full anaesthetic, so didn't know what went on.  Good luck for your surgery.

I have just had an operation on my right Ulnar Nerve. I had a transposition of the nerve.  I had operation a week ago, and wonder how quickly it heals.  Have pins & needles in my fingers.
Anyone able to help.

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

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.

Hi.

Recovery after ulnar nerve transposition would be dependent on presence and severity of nerve/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.

Hope this helps.
