Ulnar nerve transposition surgery
Has anyone dealt with ulnar nerve translocation surgery for their dd? Alternatively, has anyone been told they may need it and successfully used other treatments and never had the ulnar neuritis return? My dd is dealing with the numbness and occasionally pain from this condition and we are now considering all options. She has previously rested for 6 weeks (the dr did allow her to throw just enough overhand to be able to play but that was VERY minimal due to multiple rainouts). The numbness never went away entirely but the pain did. Within just 2 or 3 throwing sessions the numbness was more pronounced and just this weekend the pain returned to some degree. If you have dealt with this issue at all I would like to know if anyone had success with resting and then never had the ulnar neuritis come back. I don't want to push for surgery but I also don't want her to lose time only to have the issue become a reoccurring problem. She is a sophomore in HS and if the surgery would ever be necessary it seems like now would be the time to do it. I would love any feedback you have on your own dd, students, or team mates. Thanks in advance.
