[TheForge] Repetitive motion injuries

[Walter Mullett]

Jerry,

Please get another opinion before surgery.  

My loss of hand strength was a pinched spinal column at my neck.  Bone spur
growing in at C4, probably from a broken neck sometime.  My eventual fix
will be they will break my neck, clean out the spur and fuse 4,5&6.  I'll be
wearing another halo then.... :-)

Until then, some good therapy and a chiropractor did more than the doctors
could.

Folks,
	I am wearing a brace on my hand until I see the hand surgeon. I
started not being able to grip things strongly and fingers going numb, so I
went to my doctor and she said I may need surgery on that wrist. Bummmmmer!

Jerry
