A member asked:
Nerve test showed ulnar monoeuropathy from moderate to severe cubital tunnel. ortho follow up recommended surgery next week, do i really need surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discuss with surgeon: Only you and the surgeon can decide that answer, as you do indeed have moderate to severe issues as per the emg, so depending on the discomfort you have and the condition as it presents, you may need the surgery, but a discussion with the dr. Who examined you and ordered the test is needed to come to a definitive answer. Best wishes.
