im kristoffer and a new member here. i have bpi on my right hand. honestly i dont know so many things about my condition especcially the treatment i may get.
i had my bpi during birth. im 20 now and so far i never had any surgery. i had a couple of visits with a doctor when i was a kid and thats it. i remeber my mother usually massages my hand everyday to better it and thank god it became better. i can move it now and its not really that noticeable now though it is weaker and smaller maybe because of atrophy.i can not able to straight it and i can not touch my back with my affected arms also i cannot touch my shoulder on my affected arm with my affected arm.my parents are not that rich so i didnt get the best medical help i can get. my question is are there specific exercises for the hands or maybe surgery that are cheap to better my condition. becuase evrything i see in the internet are expensive i also think it is not really available here in the philippines. tnx a lot for your help.godbless.

Hi, welcome!

Post this on the OBPI boards too, as that is specific for those of us who got injured during birth :)
