As my grandma Loretta always used to say when she was upset, Shoot-a-bean! I had surgery two months ago to release some scar tissue around the nerve in my left elbow. It was a simple decompression operation on my ulnar nerve right by the funny bone. Well, this is no laughing matter because the symptoms have come back. Before I had numbness, tingling, and weakness of the ring and baby fingers. Now I have pain along with difficulty straightening those fingers. What do I do now? 3 years 12 weeks ago 299
I have some numbness and tingling in my ring finger and in my pinkie finger on the left hand. There's no pain but sometimes I can't straighten those two fingers. I went on-line and looked up carpal tunnel syndrome thinking that might be what I have -- but my symptoms don't match what it says for that. What else could be causing this problem? 3 years 12 weeks ago 500
It's the weirdest thing. I woke up this morning with a big divet along the back of my elbow. It's about an inch above the pointy part of the elbow (the part you lean on the table). I did fall down yesterday but the place I scraped my elbow is on the other side of the pointy bone -- down along the forearm. The whole elbow hurts like the dickens and looks pretty puffy.

I've lost 155 pounds and started weight-lifting and body building for the first time in my life. Unfortunately, I tore my left triceps muscle trying to bench press past my own personal record. So now I'm back to the drawing board. How long can I expect it will take to recover fully from this injury? 3 years 17 weeks ago 305
I'm 10-years-old and I'm writing because my great-grandpa broke both sides of his elbow. They are going to have to do surgery. I'm going to be praying for him to have a good surgery. But maybe it would help if you could tell me what exactly they will be doing to him. I'm really, really worried. 3 years 17 weeks ago 247
