“My high altitude injured right hand is recovering. The hand itself is not injured, it is the injured nerve in the arm that is causing muscle wasting in the hand. It seems to be bruised. Injured nerves can take 1-2 years to recover. Given that it has shown an extensive recovery already, I expect it may fully recover in a year or so. The damaged nerve was an occupational hazard of being an altitude researcher!” RecoveryAltitudeInjuredRecoveringBruisedHandResearcherHigh AltitudeNerveMuscle Wasting Book:Toxic Altitude Source: Toxic Altitude
