Consumer Description

MY FINGERS DEVELOPED CURVATURES AND TWISTED KNUCKLES. I DEVELOPED LOWER BACK PAIN. SHOULDER PAIN. NECK PAIN. CARPAL TUNNEL. SCIATIC PAIN. REQUIRED PHYSICAL THERAPY BECAUSE I COULD NOT LIFT MY ARM ABOVE SHOULDER HEIGHT. THE STIFF "HIGH EFFORT" STEERING WAS RESULTING IN MY BODY GENERATING FORCES TO OVERCOME THE RESISTANCE OF THE STEERING SYSTEM WHICH WERE RESULTING IN SHOCK LOADS TO MY SKELETAL SYSTEM JOINTS AND BONES. OTHER DRIVERS OF THE STIFF STEERING CHEVROLET IMPALA, SATURN'S, PONTIAC GRAND AM, PICK UP TRUCKS ALL EXPERIENCE THE SAME DEFORMITIES WITH HAND/FINGER FUNCTIONAL LOSSES. *TR UPDATED 05/27/10.*JB
