That sucks about your arm, man. Hope you find something that fixes your problem. I'd suggest strengthening your extensor muscles by wrapping a rubber band around the outsides of your fingers and opening your fingers against the resistance. I do this with thick rubber bands that they wrap broccoli together with at the supermarket. You might need to start with something with less tension like a hair band. Its pretty much a given that your flexor muscles will be over tightened from all the closed handed activities you do throughout the day like gripping a pencil, typing and grabbing things. Im not sure if the physicians you talked to mentioned this at all. It seems that a lot of medical professionals dont put a lot of effort into getting to the root of hand/arm problems like these. Doing quite a bit of research of your own would be very wise imo. Plus knowing more about the subject will help you communicate better with your doctors.
