I'm finding a lot of information about it on the internet, but prefer to talk with someone who has dealt with it. I've been to two doctors and will be seeing a hand specialist soon.

Yes, I injured my arm/hand on the Mt. Everest roller coaster ride at Disney when I was there with my GKs February 2013. When I returned from that weekend trip, I thought maybe I was having a stroke because my hand and arm were numb. A friend who had had a stroke suggested I get to the ER and fast. Not a stroke but radial nerve damage, and I wore a splint on my left hand for a couple of months. By May of 2013, I had regained near full use of my hand.
Fast forward to May/June 2014 and I'm having problems with that radial nerve again. My left hand has no strength again, and it wants to close up. I finish my physical therapy this week, and I will see my neurologist next week. The PT has helped, but not cured the problem. I don't have a clue what my neurologist is going to recommend.
