I've read that In some cases, there may be partial or complete loss of movement or sensation. Is this true? I am a powerlifter, would I be able to resume that once I am healed?
Rock, I can tell you from my experience that simple decompression didn't work. I only got relief from transposition. I think though, as in my case, it depends on whether or not the aggravation is caused from repetitive strain rather than injury.
I'm getting surgery once I get MRIs in to the neurologist so he can refer me. I got an EMG done by another dr. and she told me it was "very compressed" and the results came up with almost no signal (in both directions) from my elbow. However both dr's have told me I don't have any permanent damage..."yet." My concern now is whether they are going to decide on transposition instead. Is there any consensus amongst surgeons as far as starting w/ in situ vs the more complicated procedures?
