I miss most being able to using my hands easily - I used to do all
kinds of crafts - crossstitch, scraping booking , & sewing - it is
almost impossible now. I had to retire from a wonderful job. I
hate having to ask for help with things. So much for the pitty
party - I try to remember NOT why God did this to me , but why he
did this FOR me - there has to be a purpose.

So now that I have an inkling of what a physiatrist could do ---
especially as he had a "hand specialist"
on board, perhaps you could ask for a hand specialist.
I'm with you, I'm a crafter, a maker of things. and as a parplegic,
the hands are even more critical.
Here are a couple of suggestions : get massage, try acupuncture,
I remember when being in the hospital physcial therapy, there were
acitivites focused on those who
problems where with their hands.
And I too want to know, why.
