Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The symptoms that you are having now are due to irritation of the ulnar nerve. It can be due to inflammation of the tendons or nerve inflammation caused by stress. Fibrosis around the nerve after surgery can also cause this. A repeat surgery may not be needed.
Diagnosis can vary from carpal tunnel syndrome to bursitis and tennis elbow. Exact diagnosis can be made only after proper examination by an orthopaedician. So I suggest you to consult one.
In the meanwhile, for symptomatic relief:
1. Give enough rest to your hand muscle.
2. Take mild pain killers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
3. Stronger prescription NSAIDS with muscle relaxants may help if simple analgesics do not help.
4. Hot compresses to your arm and elbow will be useful pain relieving measure. You may apply a local analgesic gel on that area.
5. Wrist and forearm stretches can be helpful under the guidance of a physiotherapist.
Local steroid injections can help in case the pain is persistent.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
