Asking because I have 2 colleagues who had it and neither recommend it...

For those curious and blissfully unaware, the ulnar nerve is a crap evolution branch design wise, being the only nerve running outside of a joint (elbow) instead of inside - the one giving you that nasty feeling when you hit your elbow. Over time it gets trapped/pinched in its small tunnel and makes some fingers numb until you straighten the elbow. A pain to sleep (it wakes you if you bend your elbow in your sleep - the body sends alarm signals), or drive, etc. They relocate it elsewhere outside of the elbow, generally on the inside - but nerves don't take kindly to being messed with and relocated...

Both my colleagues say that now when the lay their arm on a hard surface it feels "weird" and uncomfortable, that getting used to the new location of the nerve took a long time - way longer than they were told (year+), one still experiences the same original symptoms on one of the 2 arms she had surgery on (50% success not great) with some added pain, neither was particularly recommending going ahead with this.. Looking for a bigger sample or people who treated it successfully or differently...
