I injured my elbow at work i october 06.Had 2 cortizone shots and surgery for tennis now diag with radial tunn

I was having alot of pain after surgery and physical therapy did not help,i told the surgeon and he said there was nothing more he could offer me,but another cortizone shot! I went to have a second opinion and my new surgeon said that i have radial tunnel and cubital tunnel which the emg showed abnormalities.This is a work related injury.My new surgeon said in his report that the tennis elbow surgery failed,and there should have been more tests on my elbow by my previous surgeon. Can anybody please help me with what i,ve gone thru?

You need to have the second opinion doctor report his/her findings to your primary comp doctor. Primary comp doctor needs to take that second opinion into consideration when making his/her report and recommending further treatment.

Still don't like that doc? Ask the adjuster for new primary work comp doctor. Maybe that second opinion doc can become your new primary doc.

You answered my question this am..I am summer6726! I am having the same thing happen..what tests were done to determine radial tunnel syndrome? Can this get better???? I can hardly use my right arm/hand and I am right handed! I don't know how else to write you..sorry!
