Brief Answer:
Reason for surgery;drug pregablin will help

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
After going through your query carefully, I would like to know the reason for ulnar nerve surgery and when it was done? Are you diabetic? You may send the x-ray picture or reports if any.
Meanwhile you may take drug pregablin, tramdol/paracetamol to reduce pain along with antibiotics (augmentin) if abscess or sign of infection are present. Rest to elbow by keeping it in armpouch.These are prescription only drugs.So, you may have to contact your local doctor.
Hope this helps and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
