Could The Cramping In My Hand Is Due To Fail Ulnar Nerve Surgery Done Years Ago?

I had ulnar nerve surgery several years ago. Now my fingers cramp up with use of my hand. it started with one finger and now has included almost all of them except the pinky finger and the thumb. I was told they unhooked a muscle, drilled a hole in the bone in my elbow and hid the nerve under the muscle and then reattached the muscle to the bone through the hole that was drilled. Could the cramping be due to the way this was done?

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read and reviewed query.
Based on facts of your query, You seem to suffer from-
Ulnar Nerve entrapment-for which you got operated few yrs back.
I would advise- EMG study and to assess functionally to plan release of fibrosis, causing -recompression from fibrosed tissue around.
Orthopedic surgeon who did last surgeon is the best person to talk why this is happening.
Else you take Second opinion from Second Orthopedic Surgeon,who would plan the best by release of fibrosis around the ulnar nerve and muscles.
CT study would give a rough idea, upon which to plan further treatment with your doctor.
This Would go a long way for better happy life for you.
Hope this would resolve your health issues early.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day !!
