Ralph is 63, from South Australia.
Family:all dead
I had a brachial plexus injury in an accident in 1986. thirteen years later I still have limited movement
in my fingers of my righthand (I am right handed),. and my hand is still painful especially when a low
pressure system passes. Has any one else noticed this? Three fingers are still bent (simian hand).
Has anyone had treatment to straighten their fingers? Did it work? I am told that there are now
opperations to control the burning pain? Is this true? A major problem is muscle weaknerss
so I tend to drop things. How can you strenghthen you arm and hand?
I would be glad to hear of any information
