I was holding my own on the independent program I was doing trying to keep the ROM I got back.I was doing good till one day the pain was terrible and from that day on-I lost all my active ROM,which was 100 degress abduction/flex.(thats what I lost)That all happened within 8 days.If anyone has any ideas............Thanks.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.

See your doctor SAndi, that doesn't sound right. Failing that, see a physiotherapist maybe? Let us know what happens.
