Cubital Tunnel Surgery To Elbow?
I injured my wrist last sept ( hamate fracture) and was put in a cast for three weeks. After cast was removed I still had problems with my hand so was refered for various tests, which one test showed the unlnar nerve was compressed hence the reason I could not feel two of my fingers.
I had cubital tunnel decompression surgery in April 2007 and have been left with a 10 inch scar to the back of my elbow , which does not look very nice.
My question is “how long does it take for my elbow and wrist to return to normal”? I still have odd numb sensations/brusing and also a burning, aching feeling in hand.
Any info would be most appreciated.

the unlnar nerve is one of a few in the arm comes from your brachial plexus in your shoulder. i myself had abn injury to my brachial plexus i also know other who have compressed a nerve. realy gona sound nasty here but stop bothering about a tiny little bit of burning with odd numb sensations you could have lost the use of your arm.
as for how long it will take to heal mother nature repairs nerves at 1 mm per day
from damaged area down to finger tips. however if the nerve is scared there is a posabilaty that it will never ever be the same agine
i am 1 year down and still expect another 2 or 3 years.i am asuming that its only pain your sufering and that you are lucky enofe to have all your movements
