Re: Hirayama's Disease

also, i think above you asked if physical therapy was a good idea. ive been going to it every week for a little over a year now. while mosts of the stuff you can do on your own, they DO help you come up with exercises to target certain hand muscles whichi s nice because i would not think of some of the things myself. i dont know, ive kind of just adapted to the condtion. even though my finger strength is weak i can still do MOST of the things i use to..i just do them a little different..for instance i shift goofy on my bike because i cant use my finger strength to pull the clutch lever in. once it is in though i can hold it with my finger strength, its weird actually now that i think about it. id say if u still have enough strength to lift weights you should. i use to love working out. i was never a huge guy, but my friend and i lifted every day trying to be lol. i stopped lifting though after a while because i was afraid id hurt myself. i dont really trust my hands like i use to haha
