There is no standardized criteria for how long it takes for the ulnar nerve to return to normal, and it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a year, or even longer. It depends on the severity of the disease and whether the treatment is timely.
1. if the disease is early, through conservative treatment for 2 weeks to 4 months, it is possible to relieve the symptoms and return to normal. 2. if the disease is longer, through conservative treatment for 2 weeks to 4 months, it is possible to relieve the symptoms and return to normal.
2. if the disease is long and the effect of conservative treatment is unsatisfactory, the recovery time will be longer, about half a year or even longer.
3. if the symptoms are more than a year old or if there was significant muscle atrophy in the hand prior to the surgery, the likelihood of returning to sports after the surgery is lower and the recovery will take longer.
The compression of ulnar nerve will lead to abnormal sensation of fingers, weakening of hand strength and atrophy of hand muscles, so you should go to the hand surgery department of the hospital in time. And take reasonable treatment measures under the guidance of doctors.
