I severed my ulna nerve when I broke my arm when I was 12 years old. I started to lose control of my hand, it was stuck in a fist (like Bob Dole) when the doctor found that I severed it. I had a nerve graft from my leg. Attended lots of occupational therapy to relearn how to use my hand. It still feels a little weird at age 25, but I have full use of my hand, so I deal with it...

My Doc told me one time, "it's just the price I have to pay for getting old." I then ask him if being a doctor was his only career choice?

Also, I know a fantastic arm and hand specialist in Houston if you want a second opinion and don't mind the drive. If it weren't for this Dr. I would be an amputee from the elbow down on my left arm.

Several years ago while at work, I noticed the little finger on my left hand had gone to sleep but I didn't think much about it. The next day, half of my left hand was numb. To make a long story short, I had unknowingly damaged the ulna nerve. I had surgery to relocate the nerve but it was too late and I still have numbness in half of my left hand. The muscles in my hand have atrophied and I've lost a good bit of use. Luckily my hand did not draw up into a claw which happens often. I still fish a lot with it but I can't throw crank baits much as my hand will lock up and I might throw the whole rod in the lake. If you're having nerve problems get it checked out pronto! Oh yeah, I'm left handed.
To whom much is given, much is required.

I know a lot about female anatomy Dave. I think the ulna is just north of the calliope tubes there.
I thought the calliope tubes were in a merry go round. I know they are in the playground for sure.

If your ortho can't locate the problem, you may consider seeing a neurologist. It could be a nerve issue originating in your back or neck that is causing the problem in your arm.

I've had muscle injury in my upper neck before and bad whiplash so wouldn't shock me. My symptoms come and go so much it's crazy

Had surgery to fix mine two or three years ago. Richmond bone and joint fixed me up. Mine was bad lost use of part of my hand for a while. I waited to long. My little finger is still weak but better than I was.
Thanks, Billy
