A member asked:
I had medial epicondylar /ulnar nerve decompression 3 1/2 months ago. my elbow is still very tender to touch or set on anything. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Ortho: I would visit the orthopedic surgeon who performed the surgery. 3 and 1/2 months is usually adequate to heal enough to be pain-free. Is it possible that you may have reinjured it somehow?
