Experiencing Numbness Of Fingers Due To Issue With Ulnar Nerve
Had ulnar nerve release about 7 years ago. Dislocated shoulder and broke top of humerous (greater tuberosity) 9 months ago. Shoulder froze and had surgery end of January. Fingers numb. Emg test couple days ago. Technician said issue with ulna nerve. Will this get worse if I don t have surgery

Hi I have read your description . your EMG report say that your ulnar nerve is involved. How exactly is it involved? Probably re compression of decompressed ulnar nerve. If there is pressure on the ulnar nerve then it should be released , else the compression may become worse and numbness may increase.And it probably has nothing to do with shoulder dislocation or fracture greater tuberosity.
