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.

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

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.

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.
