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 |
