Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Do any of you have a problem dropping things? I broke my right hand last March, and have had a problem ever since. I originally thought that could be the source of my problem, but now I'm not sure. Comments? Vikki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Vikki, I'm the original " Fumble Fingers! " I drop lots of things, but the reasons I do may be different from yours. When I'm in a " Dercum Flare " (I don't have RA, I have Dercum's Disease and fibro) my wrists and elbows are swollen and it's not safe to give me sharp objects. My husband thought he'd qualify for a target in a knife-throwing act. You probably should check with your ortho to see what might be causing it. Are your fingers numb? In my case there is some neuropathy caused by tumors pressing on nerves, so my hands just go weak. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 yes, dropping things all the time. Mostyly paper and stuff in a store. I try to always carry a purse or have pockets and not hold stuff in my hands. I have lost stuff like checks for bills and paperwork for the kids school from the car to the the designation. Just that quick!
