It’s my ulnar nerve - my fingers are numb because the nerve is compressed. The surgeon thought it was the best route to save the nerve - it’s a common procedure but there are more conservative treatments that I haven’t tried. There is a chance that I could lose the feeling in my hand. There’s also a fairly long recovery period with the nerve surgery. Both opinions recommended the surgery - one doctor didn’t think it would get better without surgery. I should probably trust the doctors????? No guarantees though ☹️☹️☹️
