My boyfriend met a woman the other day who had the same symptoms and same surgery as me, and 1 year post surgery is a new person. I&#39;m crossing my fingers... for both of us!Jenna Bilottahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00410240490598473445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270799049398666565.post-872748978953963412010-01-30T23:09:40.099-08:002010-01-30T23:09:40.099-08:00I really hope you do well and that your problem improves to a 100%. I had to post because I would love to know how things go- I&#39;m an illustrator (30) who started experiencing pain in my wrist, then elbow, a few months ago. I was going to a PT, but it continued to worsen in my elbow (my wrist felt somewhat better very quickly, so it was probably just tendinitis there) &amp; after my nerve conduction test, -which showed ulnar nerve damage in the cubital tunnel- the pain got almost unbearable and my hand was almost always completely numb. I&#39;ve had an MRI too, which shows the nerve is thickening in the same spot. I can&#39;t work without my right arm but surgery scares the crap out of me- Maybe not so much because it&#39;s surgery- but because I don&#39;t know if I&#39;ll get the full range of motion that I need out of my pinky, for art, after they go in. <br /><br />Thanks for posting all your experiences- as much as they suck (God, do I ever know)- it was really nice for me to be able to read about what someone else is going through and what they&#39;ve learned.Melorahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13075248131919678172noreply@blogger.com
