Ulnar nerve transposition

Hi,

 I have this issue with my ulnar nerve and not being able too fully use my pinky and ring fingers as well as the nerve pain. The ulnar nerve can be compressed in multiple locations to cause these symptoms as well as from inflammation and things like synovitis.  I had a EMG test to see where it was being affected (electricity is shot through your arm to see if the signal gets through), and it did not show anything severe, but I do have synovitis in my wrist, which is probably the cause. I am being treated with over the counter  pain meds and Gabapentin for nerve pain. I am being told to consider a surgery to go in and clear the pathway for the nerve in my wrist. Mostly, they ignore me because it is not a severe condition as some people have. Many people live with nerve pain or partial movement of appendages (like diabetics or people post-op), which is considered and "acceptable " level of pain by many surgeons.. I had a elbow replacement last year, and luckily I did not pick u this symptom after ward, but many who had the surgery live with some pain, numbness and tingling along the ulnar nerve sites. It is just a mater of how much can you put up with really. Good luck!
