I have a compressed nerve in my Elbow (Ulnar nerve)?

I was diagnosed with a compressed ulnar nerve. and when I wear gear My arm goes numb and hurts horribly and when I shoot a weapon i cant hold it steady, it goes numb and hurts horribly the neurologist said its a "mild-moderate injury"... My nerve conduction study showed this nerve with 45 and all other nerves 59-64... how long will it take to heal? or will I more then likely require surgery.. I'm at a loss the PA on base said that I'm basicly healthy but I can not do all this stuff what do I do?

Most often this type of nerve compression will require a surgical release.

Well considering its a peripheral nerve, yea it should regenerate a bit.
However, like all things that heal, it takes TIME. U wont get an over night miracle.
Take it easy for now, lay off for a while, though it might be hard, but u want to be ur good old self again right?
