Re: Did you know this about Ron Paul...interesting - non BPI

He's running as a republican but he's actually a libertarian. Libertarians are generally socially liberal and economically conservative although it's the most moderate third party.

In any case, good reasearch, thanks for sharing.

Pook779,
Welcome. My 3 year old also has a C7 injury. she has weak tricep and finger extension problems. No surgery. You might want to get an eval from Dr. Shenaq as he specializes in hand injuries.

Re: Tie up the good arm: usefull or bad

I had a friend whose child had a bad eye so they covered the good eye with an eye patch to help exercise the bad eye. Is this not the same type idea?
Would this be considered cruel or inhumane? or would it be considered a helpful form of therapy.
