Has anyone had this problem and is there any hope to retain the use of his hand and arm?
He is losing use of his hand because of this.
Thanks, Dory

My husband is an incomplete s.c.i., quad. He is able to walk with forearm crutches for certain distances. He has developed a problem from repetitive use of his arms/hands for walking. the ulna nerve has been surgically treated three times with no success.
