The following post from our Muscle Atrophy & Ulnar Nerve Damage page is from a man whose hand has weakness and muscle wasting from nerve damage in his arm. He is wondering how long after nerve damage does muscle wasting begin to appear.

Trying to find out more info about muscle
wasting from nerves in the upper/lower arm. I had
left carpel tunnel surgery in 12/2006 to clear out
emg/nvs test prior to
cervical surgery. On 4/2007 had multiple fusion
between c/5-c/7 disc with donor bone and titanium
plating. All went well with no complications.
Involved in a traffic accident 7/2010, which left me
with tingling in the middle and ring/little fingers
on left. Stiff neck and stiff left shoulder, but
with no restriction of movement. 10/2010 began
receiving lack of strength on left arm and hand.
11/2010 began receiving wasting of left forearm
muscle.12/2010 showed wasting at FCU, FDI, ADM,
muscles with severe carpel tunnel, left, no
conduction of snaps, or motor of ulnar, moderate
radial damage 3 cm lower of elbow. Motor conduction
of ulnar showed severe damage at 4 cm above elbow at
arcade of shutters and at wrist. Neurosurgeon,
neurologist and hand surgeon have question about the
time of accident and muscle wasting. I don't have a
clue but was just wondering how long after nerve
damage does muscle wasting begin to appear? I have
since under gone ulnar nerve relocation. I am 60yoa
and a heavy equipment mechanic and have been in
excellent condition since neck/carpel tunnel
surgery. |

Sorry for the delay in responding to you. My
computer's hard drive went belly up and it took me a
little while to recover from it.
