I tried to post a lengthy reply but it seems to have been lost. Just as well.

I see you posted a request for information on another thread regarding recovery. To get the kind of friendly and candid feedback you need, you might want to refrain from calling members on this site "arrogant hypocrites".

People are suffering here. There is no reason to add to their suffering. Brenda, as far as I can tell, is not pushing an agenda. Nor am I. You are.

As I wrote earlier, simple decompression does not relieve subluxation. People need to know what is causing their symptoms and what the pluses and minuses are of the surgeries available.

It sounds like you have decided on a particular surgery and are concerned about the results. Fine. Don't take your anxiety out on others who have chosen differently.

While we understand that this is a subject that people have strong opinions about please lets refrain from the personal attacks and comments.

Please try to keep in mind that the purpose of this forum is to help each other. As a group we must foster a friendly helpful environment, if not then we discourage new posters from asking questions and seeking help.

For this reason going forward these kinds of messages will be deleted without comment.

Thanks very much Chris. Actually I do have an agenda, but it is the same as everyone else, share *my* personal experiences as have others, such that new folks going through this can see more than one persons point of view. That is why this is such a great board/forum.

Speaking of symptoms... As many of you know, in addition to the elbow, I had my Ulnar moved deeper in my hand and wrist. Here is the question. Have any of you that have had Guyon's addressed, did you have issues with all 4 fingers and your thumb cramping? It is getting more common - last night at work I had these critters cramp for over 2 hours, and yes they hurt at the joint. Sometimes I could stretch my fingers and straighten them, but other times I literally had to pull them out?!? I backed off some of the gripping PT hoping that was the cause, but all of a sudden it is becoming a problem. I am left handed, but my right hand is the issue. Thoughts? I figure if this continues (as ?maybe? it is part of healing?) it will stop, if not I guess the next stop (sniff) is a hand specialist. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi Brenda,

I sent you a private message on this site but am not sure if you will recieve it

How is your recovery going ?
Are you still having numbness ?

Best,
Phyllis
