They don't seem to mix. My hubby has trouble fitting his PWC under most standard height tables (30"). He has a Permobil F3 with the elevate function, which seems to make the seat/arm height higher. Even if I lift the arms and bring them back behind him (which he doesn't like - since then he...

I have posted before so sorry to post again but I am still very concerned so much so that my GP has referred me for a 2nd opinion. I had an EMG done in August and it come back with Nerve Conduction as normal although evidence of left Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow which looks quite severe with...
