Ulnar pain

I've had a total of 9 surgeries on both arms as I was born with dislocated radial heads in both arms which caused both my ulna nerves (funny bone) to be flattened in the groove where they are located in the elbow joint. I remember that I had a lot of pins and needles pain and was given Naproxen to help alleviate the pain. This was from the first time I had both ulnar nerves moved back in the early 90's but it turned out that both surgeries were done incorrectly as the surgeon moved both nerves just under the skin which made touching the inside of my arm painfully super sensitive. Fast forward to 2004 and 2007 where I had both ulnar nerves moved again but this time they were buried deep inside my muscle inside both arms and so far so good with no issues nor pain but I do have muscle weakness and atrophy in both hands since then.

The surgeon that moved my nerves correctly in 2004 and in 2007 is Mark Henry, MD where he is/last located in Houston, Texas. He's a bit egotistical but is a great surgeon.

@sloped483 thanks so much!
This is great information.
I really appreciate it. I will look into all of this and give the egotistical surgeon a call. Haha!
Sorry you have weakness now, and am glad you don’t have the pins and needles anymore.
