I live alone so it is just me. Driving I tend to use my good arm mostly. If take my left arm (TOS side) and rest the elbow the top of the door and hold the ceiling strap with my hand or touch my fingers to the top of the door it helps. It takes the weight off my arm and supports it in a level neutral position.

For those having trouble doing chores, driving etc with no improvement after trying pt would you not think about surgery if it was available? Or do you feel the risks of surgery too great with the potential to be better too low?
