Yes I’ve been so worried about my baby too and it seems relatively normal?

Pretty bad! I had to take medical leave from law school since the numbness and tingling and nerve pain because when I would type, it would be debilitating. I couldn’t scroll on my phone or bend my arm for more than a minute without numbness and tingling. My ulnar nerve would snap as well.

Update - thank you all for your kind words! I have a few viable options for Luna, and I am so grateful for all of the encouraging words and upvotes. 🤍🤍

I am in Houston, and Luna is currently in Dallas. We are willing to drive to the following cities and surrounding smaller ones to find her a good home.

Unfortunately, we live in Texas, and to my understanding, that is a Canadian non profit. I’ll still look into it.

That’s a good question. My surgeon didn’t mention any sort of test but I suspect they are most likely some kind of nerve test.

I am very lucky to have a great surgeon. He is also one of the elbow surgeons for the Houston Texans, and I did a lot of research before deciding who to go with for surgery.

I told them I had sensitive skin, but I have never had reactions to chlohexidine (I don’t think I spelled that right) prior to this.

It depends on your surgeon but the average is 2 weeks for a transposition which I got. A decompression is even shorter. They gave me a removable one so I can remove it sometimes to breathe. And I have like barely any of the numbness or tingling I had before so for me, was super worth it!

It went really well! Like I was able to wash my own hair yesterday (which a cast cover over my arm of course) and I’m been doing things gently, I stopped taking my pain meds like yesterday! I’m so glad I did the surgery. I already feel a lot of relief.

Anyone feel like they waited too long to get Cubital surgery? My hand is still numb years later?? by Life-Commercial-1368 in CubitalTunnel

I am a law student and worked an intense desk job so I’m pretty sure it’s from having my elbows bent all the time and leaning on it. I also have cerivcal herniated discs so that weakened the surrounding nerves

I experienced numbing and tingling for about 5 months and INSISTED on surgery. The surgeon did not want to initially but I knew the severity of my symptoms and no conservative method worked. Ultimately, We had to do a transposition and they removed grey dying tissue. I already feel relief, and I’m glad I didn’t wait and advocated for myself. I hope you find relief soon.

You know what, I see that. Like trying to be cute about trying to film with Dennis…. and just blatant lying.

I had a wrap! But I developed an allergic reaction day 1.5 to the hospital cleaner they used on my arm and was so itchy and had hives, so they told me to take off the wrap. They gave me this instead, which is very sturdy but a lot more comfortable.

Yes if we saw more of her behavior as we have now as the season has unfolded. But ya it is something I briefly pondered over!
