Ulnar Nerve Palsy
Hi all,
I’m currently a 21F, and when I was 13 I broke both bones in my right forearm. I initially didn’t get a reduction because when I first went to urgent care, I was in too much pain for them to do a side xray. Unfortunately my bones were out of place for a whole weekend since I was on vacation in another state. When I got back I went to the hospital where they performed a closed reduction and put a cast on.
Fast forward to now, and I have not been able to feel the ulnar side of my arm from the spot where I broke up to the right side of my hand since I initially broke my arm. I can’t feel blunt force nor scratches or cuts. Hair being plucked from the area is the only thing I can really feel. I also have a bit of claw hand and wrist drop that has improved with physical therapy exercises over the years.
My question is: Could this be helped by surgery, or am I just stuck with this because it’s been a hot minute since I broke my arm.
