I started a new hobby: I joined the Bel Canto choir of Milwaukee, which attempts some pretty ambitious choral music concerts four times per year. After a few weeks of rehearsal, I received my music folder, and discovered I couldn't really hold it with my left (injured) arm. It's the kind with a blac...

<t>Hi Mostafa - keep searching and I hope you can be evaluated by a BPI specialist to see what options there are for you. I'm 36, last seen at age 9, and I was surprised to find now that many options are still available to me.<br/> <br/> This might not be relevant, but, just today I briefly saw Dr. ...

<t>I have given blood regularly for the past 8 years (type O+, they like to see me) It just doesn't succeed in my injured arm. I have had two bad experiences lately where I had pain in my uninjured arm for a few days afterward, and so I declined this time. I'm sure there are other factors (skill of ...

I just saw Dr. Nath's book briefly. So my only impression is: hey, finally we have a book to refer to and it has color pictures! Amazon does sell it, but it is a print-on-demand book and you buy it from vbworm. I've ordered a copy.

<t>I would not settle for a replacement. Make up for all the years of one-handed typing by requesting FOUR arms. Maybe not able to wield light sabers with dexterity, but from now on the two robot arms can do all the heavy typing. <br/> <br/> I feel self conscious when clients tour the floor and noti...

Hey,

I'm going to Dr. Sanger for an evaluation. Didn't expect to see his name pop up today! Just reading for information...

<t>Leigh, from the symptoms it sounds like you have arrived at the right place. You must have read others' descriptions here with more or less similar combinations of things.<br/> <br/> I had forgotten what to call this until reminded by a family practice doctor a few years ago. Once when I was 18 I...

<t>Hi DeShawn,<br/> <br/> I had a wrist tendon transfer in Lubbock in 1980. I know what you mean about the summer! I had a plaster elbow cast (two actually) that got really yucky. The third cast was water safe, and while testing that I got black sand inside. Don't get sand inside!<br/> <br/> I think...
