I've heard that ulnar nerve surgery for severe, chronic "funny elbow syndrome" isn't always successful. I'm wondering if there's any way to predict by my age or how long I've had the problem just how well surgery will work for me? Is there a formula or some kind of computer program I can plug my numbers in and see what comes out? 2 weeks 3 days ago 12
I have suffered with chronic cubital tunnel syndrome. I feel like an expert on the subject. But what I can't decide is whether or not to have the nerve transposition surgery. Two surgeons have recommended this to me now. I just don't know. What do you advise? 2 weeks 3 days ago 13
How do you decide when it's time to have surgery for a problem? I have a free-floating bone fragment in my elbow joint. For the most part, I'm okay but sometimes the elbow locks up until I can get that piece to move around. There's always pain but I can live with that. The loss of motion bothers me the most. 4 weeks 2 days ago 37
I'm looking into all the different treatments for an elbow problem I have. Basically, there is a hole in my joint cartilage down to the bone. The X-rays and MRIs show a fragment that has almost completely detached but is still hanging on by a thread. I'm young (22-years-old) and active (play recreational baseball, intramural volleyball, run, ski). I'd like to get past the pain and get my elbow motion back. So what do you recommend? 4 weeks 2 days ago 46
I had chronic tennis elbow for months and months. After trying everything else, I decided to go for the new whole blood injection therapy. The pain was much, much worse right away and then got better after about a week. Can you explain why this treatment makes you worse before better? 9 weeks 3 days ago 60
