I know this site has been posted before but it is a great web site... And for many of us who lost our pages during our cyber wars with our computers maybe it will be of some use....
For many years I was telling the doctors that my arm burned and stings and felt like someone was slapping my hand... and no real information ... The massage therapist said it was Ulna nerve problems... and that was the good arm...
The right hand obpi... has had swelling in the ring finger and numbness on the palm and pinkie... they say Ostio arthiritis... well the joints on those two fingers are not mess up because the fingers don't work well... so I went to this web site... and I found information that may relate to secondary injuries...
Please read them and see what you think. I would be interested in know if other have had the same problems with hands and arms. I know the secondary injuries forced me to stop working the original obpi i was use to.

Re: Cumlative Trauma... possible Secondary Injuries...
Kath, Great web site. I copied a few of them for future ref. I too, believe it's the secondary issues and what not that has caused me not to be able to work at all as I was used to dealing with my arm but then the pain is getting worse too.
Anyway great site. Sharon

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: Cumlative Trauma... possible Secondary Injuries...
I noticed the name Kathleen up and assumed it was a new Kathleen. Wow that is an old post and before I started posting just as Kath. Some may remember we had so many Kathleen and Kathy on the boards I switched to just Kath.
Now that I'm older I will not be switching again...LOL...
I might forget who I am...LOL.
This website has changed since 2002 and if my memory serves me right it had so many of the secondary injuries listed as secondary conditions. It does not now.
Thanks for pulling it up Carolyn it still is a good web medical site.

Re: Cumlative Trauma... possible Secondary Injuries...
Carolyn, it's not there anymore. Or so it appears. Hoping to read through it even though I may have many years ago before secondary issues crept up.
