Guest guest Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 YES!!! It's soooo frustrating! I've been taking Oxcarbazepine for the last 4 weeks (which tones down the pain, btw) and the dropping seems to be worse. Fortunately, I have quick reflexes and can grab the item before it hits the ground. Jodi >Does anyone with TCS have a problem with dropping things? Lately I can't seem to hold a pen or fork for long without it just dropping out of my hand. I haven't been able to find that as a symptom, but then again, I can't find a source for many symptoms for untreated but symptomatic TCS. Even though I have had surgery, I am rethered and can't have any more surgery, so I am in the same position as never having been treated. I also have numbness in my right arm and my right little finger, but I suspect that is from using a cane all the time. I don't have numbness in the other fingers though, so I don't understand the inability to hold onto things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
