<t>Before I got married I always tried to make my arm less noticeable. I have a fairly obvious elbow contracture and I would never stand with my arm hanging by my side, or anything like that. Guys never really noticed my arm until I pointed it out. My problem with dating wasn't really my arm, but th...

I think I'm going to go to my family doctor today and see what he thinks and if he'll refer me to someone else. A lot of people have mentioned circulatory problems causing the veins to do that. That's got me really worried. I'll let you guys know what I find out. Thanks!

<t>A couple of weeks ago I started noticing a pain on my left outer forearm (I have LOBPI) that felt like it was on the bone and only hurt when I put pressure on the bone, like when leaning on my forearms. Now I'm having numbness and tingling in my hands and fingers (never had this before), and also...

I found a device while searching yesterday called the ErgoArm, and it looks promising. However, scraping together the $60 to get it might be a problem.

<t>I'm a legal secretary and I've been noticing lately that while I'm typing my affected arm (left) starts to ache. My bicep cramps and my hand and wrist hurt. I was wondering if any of you know of any kind of support device, brace, etc. that could be worn just while typing. I've been trained in typ...

<t>I have an LOBPI. I was never a cheerleader (just didn't want to) but I was on danceline in high school. My arm wasn't extremely noticeable. I tried out with everyone else and made it every year without any problems. I told them I couldn't straighten my arm, but that apparently didn't influence th...

<t>Hi Ashley,<br/> I'm Brandy, 26 LOBPI. When I was born I had no movement in my arm and didn't begin moving it until around 3 or 4 months and then only while sleeping. My parents took me to a doctor (not sure what kind) and they were only told that it was nerve damage and there was nothing that cou...

I'm 26, LOBPI. Welcome!

I'm 26, LOBPI, and I have bursitis in the my right shoulder, presumably from overuse. I would like to hear from adults whether or not their injured arm seems to get worse over time. Is it degenerative? Mine seems to be worsening, but that may just be an effect of overuse on that arm as well.

I too would be interested in something in the Atlanta area. I'm in Gadsden, AL, about two hours away from Atlanta. Adult LOBPI.
