spring cleaning, ulnar nerve palsy
Cleaning out drawers during spring cleaning I came across a lot of splints I've used over the last few years healing from an accident.
There were more formed to my arm and elbow and one real medieval torture machine that you have to rent that forces the elbow to bend (breaks the scar tissue I think) slowly at night.
The finger splinting is because the 4th + 5th fingers claw. I am thrilled to say mine don't anymore (though the nerve + it's friendly muscles is still in "palsy"....doesn't work so great)
Surgeons do the stuff inside (shop but for your bones) and occupational therapists make this stuff (kindergarten and arts + crafts for your hand). The OTs spend an awful lot more time with you and deal with all the frustration that comes from your loss.
