This may be irrelevant to your situation, but possibly worth mentioning anyway...

Several years ago I had what appeared to be nerve damage in my right wrist and forearm. Writing was difficult and pretty much illegible.

My GP had me consult a psychologist first to determine that it wasn't psychological in nature. The psychologist said it was physical and something she'd seen fairly frequently. It was something akin to RSI.

The psychologist referred me to a doctor at one of the major hospitals here in Brisbane who specialised in treating this condition by injecting Botox into the afflicted area.

I can't tell you whether it's a successful treatment or not, because before the appointment with Dr Botox came up, I was struck down with a debilitating autoimmune disease that hospitalised me for a month and put me on all sorts of nasty medications for about a year.

Somewhere along the line in that year the effect of the nerve damage began to fade and is now so slight that it's no longer a problem.

Maybe the cocktail of drugs I was on for so long had something to do with it. Corticosteroids are very nasty but used to treat all sorts of things. Who knows?
