WELCOME TO UBPN,Lacey!!

Ohhhh yeah!!, there are several pain issues as we age. pain on our unafected limbs from over-use and compensation. I definitely have artheritis in my Left BPI wrist and fingers, also my left hip.Actualy my whole left side has pain at some times or another and across the small of my back. I could swear because our spines are all off kilter, without early interventions I never had because my OBPI/Erb's Palsy was never addressed until age 65 when I found this sight and a name other than "birth Injury".

FYI, I found pain relief in excercizing GENTLEYin a warm water pool at least 2 times a week and sitting in a Hot Tub for 15 minutes at a time. I'm sure now that the weekend is over others will "chime in" on this Topic too.

I am sooo glad you found us, Lacey

Thanks so much! Pretty glad that I found this site, myself

Welcome Lacey!
I am not the best to answer your other post but thought I would say hi! Hope that you are doing well and feel comfortable asking any questions you may have.

I am only 20 years old but have some experience with the pain stuff as well and the ganglion cyst. I developed pain at 13 and it got increasingly worse untl I had surgery in May and now I am pain free. At least in my right (bpi) shoulder.
The cyst I had was on my left wrist and wouldnt go away so I had it removed with surgery as it was hurting me during softball. I think it comes back and goes away now as it pleases.

Not sure if that helps or not.
Welcome to the group!
Hugs,
