Apr 10, 2009 - Hi Phyllis, Thank you for making the video - it has been really helpful. I am having the same surgery in 3 weeks time and am a little nervous. Just hoping to get some feeling back in my fingers/hand. Many thanks - wishing you well,

Apr 13, 2009 - when you close your arm up ever (like your going to touch your shoulder with your hand) do you ever feel a shock of nerve come from your elbow to your hand?

May 29, 2009 - God be with you I'm going through that right now. I'm 21 and a CNA it gets to be very aggravating. i go through work just fine do not notice it until i rest then it gets very painful. my doctor did not give me splint just 800mg of ibuprofen.

Jul 1, 2009 - I just had this surgery this past Thursday. My surgeon was going to do the Cubital Tunnel Release (as you had done), but he ended up doing the release and repositioning of the nerve. I hope this is the answer for me...God Bless You

Aug 13, 2009 - I feel your pain, I went to the doctors today (one hand typing, sigh...) I got some anti-inflammatory cream, and some intense vitamin b6 pills... it sucks, my hand is also weaker, the numbness doesn't go away. It happened a week ago, I pinched the nerve on the edge of something, arm rest or table cant remember. How is your condition?

Aug 16, 2009 - had the same problem years ago, you tell people they say you mean Carpal Tunnel and you tell them NO it's cubital tunnel. You have to do the surgery or the feelings will not return ever.

Aug 25, 2009 - I just found your video while looking for info on the ulnar nerve. I had never heard of it before going to my dr. last week with numbness in my fingers and palm. Thank you for passing on your info. I learned alot! Good luck!

Oct 2, 2009 - Just found out i had this today, my pinky, ring finger and side of my palm have been numb for about a week now, on and off though. I'm sure i got it from leaning on my elbow. Will be going to doctor soon, hope it's not too serious at the moment and won't need an operation. Thanks for the video though.

Nov 9, 2009 - I have been dealing with numbness is my ring finger and pinky finger for a couple of years now. My doc just refered me to a nero doc. he said that I might need surgery. My question is how long was the hospital stay and recovery time. Thanks

Nov 18, 2009 - Thanks for sharing your experience. I have been experiencing numbness & tingling for about 2 weeks now. Planning on calling my dr. in the morning. I'm currently studying to become a massage therapist & have been learning about nerve entrapment & impingments. I'm on a break from school at the moment & the numbness started on my break. Might be a bit hard to massage when I go back. I am also a percussionist. Glad to see a fellow female drummer! :) Thanks again!

Jan 21, 2010 - @coldsummersky69 ya it SUCKS. and i feel like shit about it, i was so used to lifting daily, and all the sudden it's like, will i ever be able to lift like that again? i mean, im only 19, and idk if im getting surgery yet, i can lift like 4 days in a row, then quit for TWELVE, and it heals, it sucks. what really blows is that i originally had tendonitis in both elbows for 8 months b4 my nerves acted up, in march it will be a year, i was 6'6 220 7% BF, and now im 6'6 185...its depressing
