I can't press up because of the stenosis in my neck, this fills that with a push in an arc movement. After 9 months I've been able to grab a #45 barbell weight and do a farmers walk with both hands. I had a partial stump left in the ground because irrigation was close by. I figured I'd get a electric chainsaw and plunge cut the center and spray Biotin stump and poison ivy killer. This black locust is very invasive and the tendrils continued to sprout. I got about a dozen cuts, blade went full after touching the dirt. Went to the rental got another. I told tool rental exactly what I was going to do with the saw. Saw is designed for right handers and the way I had to grab it left my hand a little sore. Did other stuff was ok. Started hurting in the evening by 0130 woke the wife told her I was hurting she gave me a 7.5 Norco. Nothing happened. By 0300 my right hand palm was a knot pressing on the nerves my hand felt like it was held over a flaming grill. Went to Urgent care luckily it was empty. By now my pain level was a 11. Wife is trying to get me to focus on my breathing, I was breaking into a sweat my BP was 180/110 from the pain. I don't have a problem with BP. Finally they gave me a shot of toradol in my hip, nothing then they gave me a shot of Dilaudid in my leg. Finally the burning decreased. Got a steroid pack, second week and the swelling is going down the fingers aren't as sore. Snips really trashed my hands. Still went to the gym but worked on legs and abs and gave my hands a break. Midas been telling me that post polio syndrome is real I believe it now. Just turned 68 , getting old isn't for pusies. Landmine is better for my body. Glad you are well brother π
