Following Carpal Tunnel decompression surgery I once again saw my surgeon with the pins and needles/pain/loss of grip to my little and ring finger on my right hand and also to discuss the left hand. I couldn't close my little finger inwards which detected a nerve problem was laying elsewhere. He once again sent me for an EMG which again was nothing like some people described it and also as a precaution an ultra sound with jelly on a probe that the doc ran up and down my arm for any signs of swellings or cysts. The EMG showed the Carpal Tunnel Operation had been a success and no detection of a problem at the ulnar nerve. The Ultra sound showed swelling on the median nerve.
Although the EMG showed nothing significant to the right hand by way of the ulnar nerve the fact I was suffering with pain and the tappin on my elbow showed signs was enough for the surgeon to decide right Cubital Tunnel Decompression was required as well as left Carpal Tunnel as the EMG showed deterioration in the left carpal tunnel nerve.
Surgery was booked in for 12 January 2010
