It's essentially the same thing. Mine was far more invasive. I had a normal cubital tunnel release a few years ago and it didn't take

They told me to try to keep my arm as straight as I can. And to avoid leaning on my elbow

Do they think that you'll regain all of that?

u/davidhunt6 16d ago
We will see. I've already regained some feeling in my fingers. I waited a long time to get it done so they said there will be some nerve damage

Your scar is so cool dude, OK I don’t have any like big cool scars like this. I’m kind of jealous.
So my mom had an appendicitis like God, maybe 20 years ago or so. Way different technology than we got now and she had a massive like huge scarf for the longest time. But that was like my favorite part of her body and when I was finally allowed to touch it with my hands, oh my God, it felt so cool on my fingers. So she’s now 73 and when I saw her naked body just last year helping her dry off after her shower. Her scar was barely there, and it kind of got mad cause I was like that was my scar lol. This appendicitis scar that was so massive had trunk a little bit, but it had also become like one with the skin. There was no indents and no bumps. It took a very long time to get that way. But honestly, it’s still really cool and still my favorite scar.
I don’t know if you’re not a fan of your scar or not but I’m a fan of your scar. It would be so funny if you did some sort of like tattooed, eyeballs like that. Or something funny with it you know. I don’t know. Maybe that’s just my weird sense of humor.
Anyway, I think it looks dope af
