I thought losing 40 pounds was good for your health. :shrug:
I used to work with a guy who had bad gout attacks because all he ever ate was summer sausage. Maybe you should cut back on your summer sausage intake.

The internets seem to believe they're connected.

I just had my Uric Acid level tested a week ago and ot was on the higher end of ULN, but not past top range.

I know it rises with a water fast. Staying hydrated is supposed to help suppress the rise.

About 2 years ago I started getting pretty severe migraines. Every day. This was not something I was willing to live with, so I ended up seeing a neurologist. He prescribed me Gabapentin.

It not only cured the migraines, but it also cured the ulnar nerve issues.

Good luck
I was on that crap before I got herniated disc in neck fixed.

Made me feel even worse so I stopped. Tried FECO and was almost pain free and was able to sleep for more than 15 minutes a time.

I've had 1.5 gallons of water since 1:45am. Trying to flush it out like prior times.

Just finished up with the Orthopedic doctor for my hand and I have to go for a Electromyography (EMG). Then it will determine small operation or larger one. He may try a Meloxicam pack to see if that works prior to surgery but most likely it will be an operation.

Thank God it's my left hand so it won't top the whacking off to Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Tomorrow morning is my EMG and then my orthopedic doc will decide the surgery needed.

Has anyone ever had surgery to resolve this?

I'm curious on success rate and recovery time.

Most specialists down here are 8-12 weeks out to see.

been taking Gabapentin for years for sciatica. Good shit. No side effects.

I've had a ulnar release in my left elbow, not transposition. It did not fix the issue.

Doubtful the transposition would improve it either. But that has no bearing on if the surgery will be good for you.

Nerve releases (carpal, cubical) have generally good results.

Transpositions are more hit and miss. But your hand is numb, so gotta roll the dice.

And if it’s pressure caused by keyboarding, that sounds like a potential work comp injury. If you work for Amazon, those guys are massive dicks.

Best of luck getting this resolved. Sounds miserable.

Sitting here for 30 minutes waiting to be prepped for surgery. They called me at 4pm yesterday and told me to come in at 6:30am rather than 7:30am due to a cancellation. Of course I'll be sitting here until 7:30.

Lost 1 hr of sleep. ROFL
