Degenerative Peripheral Motor Nerve Scare, My Thumb Stopped Working
- Thread starter snubbyfan
- Start date
OP
I know my condition'll never heal but I'll be happy if it just stays manageable.
OP
That's the thing. I'm only 55 and otherwise very healthy. That's what's made it possible for me to work on getting back and staying on my feet after my neurologist mentioned "wheelchair."
OP
Thanks, being that Lisa's an Italian female, she gets loud enough that you can't help but hear her.
OP
Well, normal for me anyway.

Keep on doing what you are doing. Glad you are back to "normal." 
Praying.
Have a blessed day,

Les, Isn't that a oxymoron, Snubby getting back to normal?
Oh, you mean physically normal....
That's what we want to hear about Snubby, he's getting back physically normal.
Best wishes Snubby from me, on your getting back to to "Normal" from your scare.

Take care! Best of luck!

The other day I was thinkin'. What if my right hand did get worse and stay that way?
I've already learned to do lotsa stuff left handed, including shootin'.
My wife already helps with cutting and stitching leather.
'Bout the only thing I still need 2 hands for is cutting and toasting the foot of a cigar. My favorite cutter's gimpy hand compatible and I hold the lighter in my left hand.
While we were out hiking the other day, I asked my wife if she'd cut my cigars if I wasn't able to do it myself one day. She looked at me as if I was crazy for asking such a thing, "of course I would," she replied.
How cool it that? I got me a good one.

When I do a project I really get into it and sometimes ignore when I accidentally slam into an object, bang a body part etc. A day or two days later I'll be in pain and not really know why - until really thinking about it. Then I recall what I did when involved with my project. Duh! 
Since you are very active you might have injured yourself while camping, hiking, bicycling, or similar and not payed much attention to it at the time. It happens..... Obviously it could also be related you your nerve condition but as long as it's getting better - that's a good sign! As you say....... Keep on Chooglin'!

Hmm, I did recently change up my workouts at the Y. Even though I wear double wrist wraps, the weights are still pushing on my hands in a different manner. Could've fatigued my poor old gimpy thumb.When I do a project I really get into it and sometimes ignore when I accidentally slam into an object, bang a body part etc. A day or two days later I'll be in pain and not really know why - until really thinking about it.

it's been a while. is the thumb 100%?
OP
Well, it's back to where it was before it stopped working.
I know that's the most I can hope for.
It'll always be gimpy like my right hand and wrist. My hope's that it doesn't get any worse.
