re: Carpal and Cubital Tunnel surgery survivors

Ahmad likes to do both together. You'll leave with a bulky splint/cast initially to keep swelling down. You will then get a custom long-arm splint probably, because I know he likes to do sub-muscular transposition (or at least did 6 yrs ago). You will do mostly range of motion exercises and nerve glides/tendon glides for the first few weeks, avoiding gripping or lifting to prevent further inflammation or irritation. At 3 weeks you'll start gentle strengthening

I thought there was a thread a while back about a different procedure that takes care if carpal and is less invasive

Not sure how the surgery can be much less invasive than it already is - they make a 1" incision and snip a ligament impinging the median nerve. That's all there is to it.
Ulnar nerve translocation is much more involved and can be done a few ways, but there's not much need to simplify the proces

My elbow doesn't really hurt. I must jsut get the numbness in the ring and little finger. Some pain there too.
Pretty mild case, much better with the focus on keeping my arms straight.

I get that numbness on occasion but its putting my elbows down on a flat surface that will absolutely send me through the roof. It's short, quick, and avoidable if I keep my mind on it but the moment I don't, it's like someone's driving a nail into my elbow. Really, really, sucks...

Maybe after your wife gets her tits done you won't have to jack off as much and your newly repaired wrist will hold up.

For the cubital tunnel are you having a transposition done?
I don't normally see people who have both done at the same time. Did you see a physical therapist before going under the knife? There are exercises you can do that may help or a PT can rule other syndromes out before getting sliced and diced.

This thread is an amazing coincidence. I have ulnar nerve entrapment. I had never heard of any of this until about two weeks ago when I woke up and my pinky and half of my left ring finger were numb. I had trama to that nerve some 15 years ago, and it's bothered my to do things through the years--carrying my kids on my left side, doing curls, bench press or triceps extensions. It was always just more of a nuisance, not really a big deal. I could always power through it. Hitting my "funny bone" on that arm was excruciating and was 10 times more intense and lasted much longer than the other arm. But I dealt with it.
So when I woke up and it was numb, I didn't pay it too much attention. It was only when I couldn't tie my shoes, button my pants, and cut my right hand fingernails that I started to panic. I went to the doctor and she sent me to PT that I start Monday. But what can that really do. My nerve slides over the bone when I bend it. I can adjust sitting at a keyboard or resting my arm while I'm driving or sitting in a chair. But I'm not prepared to forfeit working out for the rest of my life.
2 things:
1) Can rehab actually correct the issue or am I looking at surgery eventually? I'd rather knock it out and get to post-surgery rehab rather than wasting time and money on a PT and still ind up having to have it anyway.
2) Who does the surgery? A orthopedist or neurologist? I only saw my GP.
