Default Muscle Atrophy

I have PN, but the neurologist has never told me what kind it is. I see so many different kinds of PN in here, I don't know where to start to compare symptom to symptom. I do know that on my right hand you can plainly see the indentions between the fingers. And, the loss of power is evident when I try to do things like opening a jar, or something like that. And, there is beginning to be some crookedness in the fingers. Closing all the fingers tightly next to each other is now out of the question. The neurologist has now got me into Physical Therapy, and it is a great office. They are really interested in what I have, and how it came to be, so they are really giving my hand the workover. Hopefully, I'll regain total use of the hand. Things like typing this is hard. The little finger and the ring finger simply do not respond well at all. I continually have to correct what they have typed. We'll see. Good luck to all who endure these conditions.
