Tweetone on my left forearm when i was 20 and an airasol can exploded in my hand, and thats it.

i'm working on destroying my right shoulder, my right broculis and my left elbo...

TweetJust over the past two years I had two surgeries on my right hand ring and pinky finger. Not sure if you recall as i did post about it, the bones in both fingers shattered to the extent that the Doc called them "corn flakes". Told me I would have absolutely no mobility in those fingers. Got hooked up with a hand surgeon in NY who has done work on several professional athletes. He took a look at them and said "in all my 40 yrs, I have never seen anything like this. I will fix you, however you have some work to do". Took two years and I now have 80% mobility and 90% use from the two fingers.

awsome that you can do that!!! i was told i'd never open my hand again...the tendons were cut for my index, middle and ring finger...they had to sew them all together. welp...my ring and middle finger stick together unless i concerntrate on seperating them, but i can open my hand...i was a guitarist in a heavymetal band and i could not see myself putting the guitar down, so i forced my fingures to move so i could play....never was able to play like i used too, but the theropy allowed the tendons too stretch and open my hand!!

Damn, and i thought i was the only one. Not sure about you, but my two fingers will stiffin up fairly quickly unless I keep opening and closing them. i am hopeful that this will subside as I am just over 4 months from the second surgery. However, it will be inevitable that i will have arthritus in these two fingers.

You get any stiffness or other?

That is something else and at such an early age! This is not a record I would want to beat. Hope all works out for you

my doctor was one of the best in the country...he figured that me try to play guitar stretched the tendons out enough that they could work independantly....PLAY GUITAR, lol...or something like that.
yea...the middle and ring finger get a little stiff
