Robert Williams, a 58-year-old carpenter, had always taken pride in his steady hands. Six months ago, he fell from a ladder, fracturing his right humerus. After the bone healed, he was left with a persistent, burning pain in his forearm and a weak, clumsy grip that made holding tools impossible. He was diagnosed with a radial nerve lesion from the injury. His neurologist, Dr. Chen, recommended a surgical nerve decompression and neurolysis to free the trapped nerve from scar tissue. Robert was terrified of surgery making things worse. The procedure itself was straightforward. The recovery was slow and required painful physical therapy to retrain his muscles. After three months of diligent work, the burning pain subsided significantly, and he regained about 70% of his grip strength. Emotionally, he moved from despair and fear of losing his trade to cautious hope. While not fully back to his old self, he can work modified duties and feels a profound gratitude for the partial return of his independence.
