I have a nerve problem form driving, If I bend a certain way and try to pick up something with my left hand I feel a pain in my left shoulder that corresponds with a pain in my left thumb. My doctor told me it was from driving for the last twelve years. I can't afford nor take the time off work for the surgery. A long hot shower each day while stretching helps me some. Good luck on the surgery. <BR/><BR/> What was that you were eating?

My current job of truck driving doesn't have much repetitive stress associated with it - this sure could be residual from the Post Office.<BR/><BR/>That place is ten years I'd like to have back.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-66068019786644870202008-03-02T17:20:00.000-06:002008-03-02T17:20:00.000-06:00Sorry you are experiencing this er... inconvenienc...Sorry you are experiencing this er... inconvenience.

When I woke up in the recovery room neither arm worked - period.<BR/><BR/>But, they really didn't know for sure.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-85331452145158183632008-03-02T11:10:00.000-06:002008-03-02T11:10:00.000-06:00Also meant to add: Get well and good luck at the ...Also meant to add: Get well and good luck at the doctor's office. :)Sezmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788407585696655259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-43494303379496183192008-03-02T11:09:00.000-06:002008-03-02T11:09:00.000-06:00Because of a car accident I had 13 years ago, my t...Because of a car accident I had 13 years ago, my thoracic (sp?) nerves were compressed and that resulted in problems with my ulnar nerve. (That's how I ended up in college, btw. Couldn't do my job without rendering my arm useless...10-key.)<BR/><BR/>So, your problem might have something to do with any nerves impacted during your surgery. It is weird how things are connected, but they are. Of course, I'm not a doctor and my knowledge is that of a bug.Sezmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788407585696655259noreply@blogger.com
