I had ulnar nerve relocation surgery.Could that be the reason I am having wrist pain?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have mentioned pain in your wrist region for a month now. Also, you have mentioned previous ulnar nerve transposition surgery.

Since your pain is localized to your wrist region, it seems unlikely that your ulnar nerve is involved because neuropathic pain is usually a radiating kind of pain in the distribution of the nerve. Also, there may be symptoms like numbness, paresthesias (abnormal electrical shock-like sensations) and weakness, which you have not mentioned.

Also, no abnormalities in x-ray and CT scan means that the bones and joint alignment is all right and not a cause of pain. This also means that there is a soft tissue affection which is leading to your symptoms, so it could be due to ligaments around the wrist region, inflammation of tendons which we call as tendinitis, ganglion, etc., besides many others.
