No, I did not have major problems with ulnar nerve. I did have some on and off pain in my wrists and numbness in fingers. Mostly consistent with median nerve. I do have heightened sensitivity at the elbows which probably means some mild ulnar nerve compression, but nothing too bad.
Don't have pain above knees either. Toe numbness and some on and off pain in the hips (usually after certain exercises) and lower back pain (usually without particular reason).

If you can afford not goind back to computer work for a while, I'd suggest that. I chose to cointinue working and this is making the recovery so much more difficult.

Things which I found helpful:
making sure to take a break from computer regularly and lay down on the floor for 15-20 minutes doing some diaphragmatic breathing and what not.
This is hard to do when working in an office, but this is the only thing that helps the muscles relax completely.
Alternating standing and lying down throughout the day and avoiding the bad posture.
Avoiding driving, sitting down, airplane travel or any other activity that comes with bad posture.
If I cannot lie down, I take a 20-minute walk. This helps a bit as increases the blood flow in the muscles.
Very important to avoid stress. I had to ask my boss for assignments which don't come with a lot of pressure and allow for some flexibility in the schedule.
Stretching regularly, but avoiding overstretching.
Avoiding any exercise that causes discomfort/pain. For me it is chin ups, pull ups, shoulder dips, bicycling. Doorframe stretches and swimming don't seem to be problematic anymore, but still limit these. It is surprisingly easy to flare up the symptoms with excersise and is usually not clear what caused the flare up.
What I did was stop all exercises initially except very mild ones designed to promote relaxation (see Edgelow protocol). After several months, I would add one new routine and test it for several weeks to make sure it is safe. If any discomfort occurs, I would stop it completely and maybe try again in a few months.
