[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 23171, member: 2315"] My hand has been numb for almost a year. NOT carpal tunnel. It is a Ulnar nerve crush at the elbow. I had the EMG last week. I am told that if I don't have the surgery to remove the the bone surrounding this nerve I will progress to total paraylisis and may not ever recover the use of my hand. The doctor is not happy that I cannot take any narcotic drugs for pain due to severe allergic reactions that cannot be managed by other medicines. When he asked what I could take I told him Motrin and he almost fell off his stool. He said that I was going to be in a lot of pain because Motrin would not cut it. Has anyone had or know anyone who has had a Medial epicondylectomy? What is the pain level for this surgery. I can tolerate alot of pain. I only took motrin after a full adominal hysterectomy. i took nothing except a couple of Advil for my cracked rib. Is this pain worse than that? -RM [/QUOTE]
