cubital tunnel syndrome surgery - advice needed!!!
Hello
Despite the EMG being normal, I was diagnosed with cubital tunnel syndrome, after an ecography. My ulnar nerve is mildly pinched at the elbow. I have had this problem for 3 years so, I'm considering surgery, since I can't bend my elbow nor perform my work.
I would like to ask you for some advice:
- statistically speaking what is the outcome of decompression surgery?
-why don't sometimes people get full recovery?Is it because surgery is a sort of placebo as Dr. Sarno/TMS theory states or is it because nerves don't fully recover?
-Can a pinched nerve compress other adjacent nerves? I think my radial nerve is also affected.
-Is there any drug under development that somehow reinforces myelin sheets so that nerves can handle compression better?
Thanks a lotfor your help,
Ac
