Just came from Dr's .... got my diagnosis.

I have 3 seperate injuries, all unrelated, but all causing prolems with my throttle hand.

1) Got soft-tissue damage in right wrist, only causes sharp pain & swelling.  Fix, lots of Advils  :biggrin:
2) Multiple small tears in forearm/wrist tendon(s).  Again, just pain and swelling related.
3) Loss of control of my hand/fingers is nuerological.  When I do certain movements (throttle/brake, or writing with pen & paper) my hand and brain arent communicating correctly.  It feels like I have soaked my hand in a bucket of ice/water...just can't control my movements, and my hand/fingers cramp & twist up.  Some kind of distonia or something (nueral abnormal processing).  He said it was like (or some form of) localized parkensons(sp) in my hand.
He is sending me to a nuerologist, to see if he can help.

I skipped the cortizome shot because he said it won't do anything to fix my hand, for this weekend.

It sucks, but to be honest, I bitch too much....how fast I can ride my bike really isn't that big a deal in the scheme of things.  It's frustrating, but I can think of a whole lot worse things to deal with, so it's all good.

Thanks guys  :cheers:

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOOOHOOO! What a freaken ride"
