Ulnar pain

Are you seeing an orthopedic for your nerve pain and have you had a nerve conduction test (EMG)?

I've had 4 bilateral ulnar nerve transpositions and lots of EMG's. As of today I am pain-free but experience muscle atrophy and weakness in both hands due to my ulnar nerve being moved twice in both arms.

Gabapentin seems to help nerve pain as well as Elavil, although Elavil is a tricyclic antidepressant.

Hope this helps.

Wow! If I may ask, how long had you had the nerve pain before the surgery? Also, do you need to take the gabapentin after your surgeries?
I take some Lyrica, but wish i could stop. I am interested in surgery; do you have recommendations? Thanks!!! I appreciate hearing from you!
