I was injured almost 23 years ago just after 18th birthday.
Water Ski Racing
I read this section almost daily. I usually post when the subject is something related to sports or how to do something one handed. I almost never post when it is related to the medical issues and I don't read many of the medical ones either.

> Are you the injured, spouse, parent or other:
I am injured
> How long injured:
Now going on 9 years
> OBPI or TBPI:
Actually, neither. No one knows the exact cause. Best guess of the doctors so far is that is is viral- but could be genetic
> How were you injured:
Two attacks since 1999. First to my hand wih residual arm weakness- Second time was to my shoulder with scapular winging and more arm weakness.
