Anyone had the surgery for a snapping ulnar nerve/tricep?

I genuinely think what snaps over my medial elbow is part of the triceps as when it snaps there is no nerve symptoms into the hand etc.

However my surgeon is adament its the ulnar nerve and them nerve symptoms will develop in time if its not treated? Ive seen things online saying people had thier nerve relocated but the snapping was still there so had to have more surgery to correct.

1. If your consultant is not listening to you and a breakdown has occurred, then you need a second opinon. Ask him for one beforehand. Don't by shy.

2. Ask him to look at the triceps at surgery if you still have relationship with him. It's very close, but you'd have to go looking for it.
