(BPT) - For Simone Duven, using her hands isn't optional. Paralyzed from the waist down, she relies on them to move her wheelchair, transfer in and out of bed and shift her weight to help prevent pressure sores. When pain began shooting through both wrists, even everyday movements were tough.

The pain kept getting worse, sometimes feeling like a vise tightening inside her wrist. She often woke with numb hands and never knew which movement might set off the pain. "My hands are everything," she said.
