strength

The doctor ignored me when I said I lost strength again. They put normal strength. How could losing 18 pounds of strength in the left hand be normal? The right lost a lot for kienbock's reasons.

It doesn't seem like it. Dr. Heiss said it was normal strength. On the other hand he said strength loss is caused by Chiari

  Mayb, they r considering it the normal upper body strength lost with chiari, so it is normal lost to the condition u r being seen for????

just a thought...as I also had a significant lost of upper body strength....and was told it was due to chiari.

Isn't it measured objectively?  I think if you disagree with their opinion, your disagreement must be noted in your records.
