Cause Of Twitching And Numbness In The Little Finger And Left Side Of The Ring Finger Of The Left Arm 2.5 Yrs After An Ulnar Nerve Surgery?

I had ulnar nerve surgery almost 2.5 yrs ago & my left hand (little finger and left side of ring finger) is still numb and my hand near webbing and thumb twitch often. Will the numbness ever go away and does the twitching mean my nerve is trying to heal itself?

Hi...i m afraid that after 2.5yrs if it has not gone then you may have to live with it...the twitching is due to a few misconnections during the healing process...
