Have any of you had the experience of cords randomly breaking while you are using your hands? I have suspected this for weeks, but had confirmation while filling my gas tank, tonight.
I was becoming very concerned with the rapid progression of thumb web space contracture, on my right hand. It was getting hard to grasp large drinking glasses, catch a ball, etc. I only had about 30 degrees of Abduction(motion of my thumb away from my hand).
I went to get gas tonight, put my thumb behind the 'trigger', stretched my fingers forward to grasp the handle and then squeezed hard. It felt like a small lightning bolt went through my hand, and full range of motion was restored to my thumb. I am thrilled by this.
I would love to hear from others if you have had this experience.
I'm trying to think what would pop the larger cords going to my middle fingers.

I was hoping/wondering if it would be a lasting release. Unfortunately, my thumb is already being drawn right back into my hand. Guess I need to start taking all my neighbors' cars for fill ups!
