Hello my name is Andre, and I was wondering if the numb feeling I get on the top part of my arm has anything to do with my inability to raise my fingers higher than midpoint. The bottom part of my arm feels normal, and so I could lower my fingers. My therapist said that they are probably related. I have yet to see a BPI specialist, my first appointment is on the 22nd.

Andre,
If the Dr. determines that you have a bpi, then its most likely do to the nerve damage from the bpi. Talk it over with your therapist again. I have an excelent therapist and he explains all the functions done by the differant nerves and muscles affected. Good luck, Karl

My thumb and index finger are getting ashy, I was told it was happening because i wasn't moving them around much. Is that true?
