Referral to a London hospital to investigate ulnar nerve compression

[Pink75928]

Hi all. I’ve been referred to Kings College Hospital as my Rheumy consultant thinks I may need surgery for nerve compression in my elbow. I’ve had lots of physio but it’s not really helped. Has anyone had this surgery?

Also, I’m waiting for my PIP decision. I had my assessment 2 weeks ago, and I know they say 8 weeks but it feels like torture waiting!

Yes I've had it. It really helped with my symptoms and I'm very glad to have had it done. Hope it goes well for you too.

The tingling and numbness stopped within about 48hrs but I did have another op with scar tissue about 18 months later all ok now
