Hi Robin,

At one point I thought i had cubital tunnel syndrome and did TONS of research into it.

Try decompression for sure.. its the safer route, some people get decompression a few times before they do a transplant.

The plus to decompression is the recovery is quick. However the problem can come right back if you do not take care. With me, I slept with a arm splint for a while cause I was sleeping on my arms. It helped tremendously although had a lousy sleep for a while.

THe transplant where they cut the forearm muscle and run the nerve under the forearm muscle, (muscles can heal well) however, some people take 2 years to recover from this surgery, and the cast you will have on for like 6 months for sure.

Do you have any muscle wasting? or constant numbness in your pinky? .. if so do the decompression FOR SURE.

Good luck!
