Can't straighten elbow after ulnar transposition.

I had transposition surgery 7 weeks ago on my ulnar nerve. It was in a sling for 6 weeks and now 1 week out of the sling I still cannot fully straighten my elbow. Using my arm to hold a water bottle or carry my purse is very painful. The pain is from my finger all the way up my arm into my neck. I also am still numb around my elbow and part of my forearm. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?
