ulnar nerve injury from stretched bp

Post by jmar »

has anyone who has a TBPI experienced an ulnar nerve problem? i just had a dr tell me an ulnar nerve problem is unrelated to a brachial plexus stretch. i dont know about that since my ulnar problem started the exact time as my TBPI.

Yep, I crushed my ulnar nerve at my left elbow, so had no wrist or finger extension. Took a year to get functionality back and a further year to regain strength. Interestingly, my fingers have a greater ROM now than do the undamaged RHS ones - haven't found any use for this enhancement though :lol:
