Re-injury after tranposition surgery? 7 Months ago

Hi, I had my ulnar nerve transposition surgery the day before Thanksgiving on 09. Things went great!!! I had immediate relief and thought things were going very well.
Well, 3 weeks ago I had to move. I tried to take it easy but when it came down to it I had to do some pretty heavy lifting. Now my elbow it really hurting and my pinky finger and top of the hand are totally numb, tingling, and sore....all at the same time. It actually seems worse than before the surgery at times.
Have anyone else experienced anything like this? I am really hoping I just aggrevated it since the surgery was not too long ago. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated bedause I relocated for a new job and can not see a dr until my new insurance starts.

Hello Tony, and welcome to the site!!
Have you called your doctor or surgeon with your concerns? Running the math in my head...you are about 2 and a half months post op now? I would give my doctor a call if this doesn't clear up in a few days, and too I would use heat and ice off and on (alternate) to get the swelling down, and get the circulation going again.
Hopefully at this time frame you did not damage the surgery site at all. Heat gets the circulation going, and then let your elbow come back to normal temperature and then ice for any swelling - about 15 minutes each application, see if that helps. Please keep us posted.
