muscle gone any use reviving

[stumble]

I got my g-tube without sedation. It was on my bucket list.

My wrist was broken and I was in a brace for six weeks while most of the muscle deteriorated. I have been squeezing a ball and stretching my thumb and doing lateral 8's in the air to gain strength. Is it useless, harder or something else to expect to gain use of my hand and arm for eating and writing and brushing teeth and moving myself about?

You can certainly improve range of motion. If that arm and hand are affected by ALS then building muscle is not going to happen unfortunately. If it has not reached that arm then maybe you can strengthen but sometimes it is there before we get symptoms. Glad you got your tube though!

anyone tried those myoelectric muscle simulator devices to help keep muscles from atrophying ?
