Default Ulnar nerve transposition surgery after unsuccessful TOS decompression surgery?

Has anyone had ulnar nerve transposition surgery? I am seven months out from tos decompression surgery with Dr. Donahue but unfortunately doing worse after the surgery. I spoke with a hand surgeon (Dr. Susan McKinnon at WashU) and she said she could do an ulnar nerve transposition that could get my life back on track. The emg and nerve conduction studies at the elbow though were normal and two other hand surgeons have refused to operate. I don't want to do an unnecessary surgery but I am at the point where I have been so disabled by TOS that I can no longer work or carry my one year old son. I am considering a spinal cord stimulator because of the chronic pain. I would love to talk to anyone who has has the ulnar nerve transposition surgery to find out if it helped or not. Prior to surgery did you have abnormal nerve conduction or emg findings? Your advice and experiences are deeply appreciated!
