how risky is ulnar nerve transposition surgery and what kind of complications can happen after it also when can i start working out again after the procedure
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ulnar nerve transposition surgery, while generally safe, carries some risks including infection, nerve damage, and persistent symptoms. Complications like nerve injury, failure to decompress the nerve completely, infection, and thrombophlebitis are possible. Return to working out depends on the individual and the type of exercise, but generally, light activities can be resumed around 8 weeks, with a full return to unrestricted activity taking up to 24 weeks

Should I consider surgery for this or can it heal with medication? What medicines would you recommend for my condition?
The need for surgery versus medication depends entirely on your specific condition. A doctor needs to diagnose your condition and assess its severity before recommending a treatment plan. Depending on the diagnosis, medications may be sufficient, or surgery might be necessary. Common pain medications include NSAIDs, opioids, and local anesthetics, but these should only be taken under a doctor's supervision.
