Hi everyone. I need some help. I have a patient who for an unknown reason recently lost some function below the elbow on the left. She can not pronate her forearm, nor can she flex her IP joints of her thumb and index finger. She is a massage therapist, and and avid cycler and kayaker. This is causing her a lot of frustration and she is thinking she'll have to close her practice. When she puts any weight through her palm, as in most of her chosen activities she gets pain in her elbow and wrist. Any ideas how she can be helped? Thank you in advance, Karen
