I don't have tingling anymore; it has just gone numb. The reason why I think it is right as well because I work a desk job so my elbow is always bent, and my hand would numb. So I would get up and go for 20 min walks and come back and the numbness was gone.

My S/O had an ulner nerve issue that sounds quite similar with numbness and tingling. If you haven't looked into a high end physio I would recommend it ahead of any surgery - there are a few in the city that come highly recommended beyond a run of the mill sports medicine clinic.
For her, it looked like it was going down the track of surgery and after a couple of months with a highly skilled physio the issue was resolved and hasn't come back in 2+ years. I don't doubt the diagnosis you have had, but you certainly don't want to go through that and the fallout of such a procedure if there is even a small chance physio and treatments can have similar results.
