I am 2 years post operative from ulnar transposition in Aug 2013. after 2 mth osurgery I started having reoccurring symptoms,,,numbness and tingling in last 2 fingers as well as a painful intolerance to cold. With in another few months the pain radiated above my elbow and arm would be weakened easily. BY Christmas I was in the ER there was swelling above the elbow and into the chest wall below the collarbone, Doc suggested a breast MRI to rule out breast involvement. I was taking 100 mg Lyricq and 5 mg of ambien along wit thyroids meds. When I wear a winter coat or a sweater that constricts above the elbow it seem to aggrevate the nerve. With gloves what I wore it kind of subsided. I returned to work wearing a glove to protect the left hand Anything cold that touched the fingers were painful Repetitively Using the arm picking up small parts and placing the boxes lead to more pain and discomfort I went out on comp again saw the ortho that did ulnar surgery. The pain now radiates under my arm and especially in crease of arm all the way to my collarbone I can not tolerate my bra strap on my shoulders, or under my arm, The weight of winter clothes aggrevate the pain as well. Ulnar surgeon not giving any advice on what to do . 2nd trip to ER for uncontrollable pain Wondering if anyone has had difficulty after ulnar transposition Cant stand the pain under my arm and across my chest help
