Is it permanent
 

I have just about completed all the therapy I have approved by owcp and I still cannot raise my arm above my head or behind my back. Beyond certain limits the pain is intense. Also, have cts, radial, ulnar, median nerve problems on that arm/ hand. My pinky sticks out and finger on next to thumb won't cross other one. Hard thing is writing(with pen) is one of my favorite things.

I wonder if this is going to be permanent?

Have vocab rehab appitute tests next week.

how much pt have you done?

have you looked at surgery as an option for any of these problems?

To be truthful & fair to you, I don't think anyone can really say whether it will be permanent be or not. I certainly wouldn't give up on it though - I haven't given up on mine.
It really bothers me when I try to hold a pen or write a short note and my hand cramps up so much I can't even finish.
Hope :hug:

I sounds like more rounds of therapy might be needed.

What are the therapies they are doing for you , or having you do?
Does it seem to be helping, is the bigger question?
Is the therapy working on your upper body at all ?- neck, shoulders, armpit/pec minor, posture?

If they only focus on where the symptoms are in your arm and hand they won't get to the core of the problem.

But-
If you have NCV/EMG testing that clearly shows proof of CTS and Cubital tunnel entrapments you might need surgery for one or both of those to see some improvement.

Those can be adding to your TOS pain levels and the hand dysfunction - it's hard to separate it all out when there is multiple "crush" involved.

They were doing therapies for the brachial plexus and other nerve problems.
The time increment is over but they could request more time. I see doctor in a little while and see then what the options are.
I dred anither surgery since I had three cts surgeries that did nothing.

Emg showed cts(both) brachial, ulnar, radial and median nerve problems. scep showed same things.

Back of hand hurts now.

Hi Billy, I wish I had something I could help you with but I don't. Just sending a :hug: your way to let you know I care.
