Years ago in CT I went through all kinds of testing to find out why my pinkie and half of my ring finger were causing so much problems. No mention of surgery, even though I had full coverage.(I imagine the techniques are much better now. This was pre-PC/Internet etc.) The docs had me wear elbow pads for quite a long time AND pay attention to when I was bumping them. (I had no idea I was hitting that nerve so often!) Anyway, it helped a lot. Only trouble is, I still have to do that...it bothers me more if I rest my arms on anything without padding. So, long story to tell you good thoughts coming your way and maybe I'll wish I'd had the same!
