Anyone ever have Carpal or Cubital Tunnel surgery
Posted on 9/8/22 at 4:54 pm

I lift 4x a week and am pretty active and have always had pain in my wrist, hand, elbow and forearm while writing and typing
I had right ulnar release surgery a decade ago and it did nothing
It hurts on the top of my hand, my pinky and ring fingers and forearm
I had a nerve test back when I had my surgery so I need to get a new one.
Anyone have experience with this? I have a hand doctor and he’s very good and does a scope minimally invasive 10 minute release in the wrist.

I've had the ulnar nerve moved twice in the elbow and the guyon's canal once. The second surgery they moved the nerve under the muscle where it's been stable ever since. I'm glad I did both the elbow and hand surgeries. You definitely don't want it to get to the point where you're losing function of your hand. Who's your doctor?

Got a surgeon in Dallas. Dr Lee
I’m wondering if getting the ulnar and cubital cut at the hand would help. What’s the downside?
What did were your symptoms?

I had carpal tunnel a few months back. 2 weeks of no lifting and I was back to normal shite. I noticed a relief of the numbness/tingling right away.

Any neck pain? Could also be a C8 radiculopathy. If the NCV/EMG doesn’t show any ulnar nerve entrapment, get a cervical spine MRI

Find a good PT in your area that specializes in Orthopedics. They perform a manipulation or mobilization based on your presents and also set you up with a program to help diminish your symptoms

As said above I would also make sure that you don't have any impingement in the neck and collarbone area.
The surgery on the hand honestly wasn't that bad. I've had several nerve conduction tests done since and have no signs of impingement anymore.
I was having severe nerve pain in my outer wrist into the outer palm then into my pinky and ring finger. My hand got very weak as well. So holding or gripping things started to become a problem. My fingers also curled up. I still have that problem though not as bad and there were other things going on as well adding to that.
Sorry for the super long post!

Antecdotal evidence, but PT for a cervical radiculopathy doesn’t have nearly the success rate of a lumbar radiculopathy. I would try to avoid surgery, but a microdiscectomy is a lot better than chronic atrophy and neuropathic pain in your dominant hand. Hopefully it’s just an ulnar neuropathy at the wrist
