Nov 22, 2024I went to Dr. Barbour because my left pinky finger was numb following surgery on my right shoulder. From what I read via google searches, the numbness was likely to due to ulnar nerve damage at my left elbow because of how my left arm was positioned during surgery on the right shoulder. I also read that ulnar nerve damage can be confirmed with an EMG. When I met with Dr. Barbour, he told me he had no idea why my pinky finger was numb but was certain it wasn't due to ulnar nerve damage. He said it can't be ulnar nerve damage because my ring finger would also have to be numb. When I suggested we should maybe do an EMG just to make sure, he was totally dismissive and said, "that won't tell you anything". He told me there was nothing that could be done and sent me on my way.... I went to see an excellent hand surgeon several weeks later and he immediately suspected ulnar nerve damage. He ordered an EMG, and the results came back confirming recent ulnar nerve damage at the elbow. I am now planning to have surgery to get the nerve repaired.... I'm 65 years old and have never had such a bad experience with a doctor. I can't NOT recommend Dr. Barbour enough.
