I'm right handed and just this week realized there are some things you naturally do with your left hand. As you know I fell and injured not only the ankle, which is healing slowly, but did something to my left arm. It is not bruised nor swollen, so I really don't understand why it hurts as much as it does. I can't seem to put pressure on it. Some examples of this are, toilet handle to flush is on the left, so reach out your left hand and in my case yelp :) Sink, hot water tap is on left, yelp again. Going downstairs, hand rail is on left, hold ever so gently just in case I fall. Since I was walking much better decided to go to the store, getting in and out of car, BIG YELP ! I'm sure there must be more, but these are the ones I noticed.
Today was suppose to be a Friday Finish, went to cut out a fob I had stitched this week and went to hold the ruler in place with my left hand and rotary cut with the right and I almost cut the fob in half.
At least this hasn't stopped my stitching, as long as I don't need to cut the fabric smaller to stitch on. Hmmm.... maybe some WIP's will get done :)

Amazing how we don't realize the parts of our body that we use until our use of them is limited! Take care and heal quickly!
Did you dislocate something? I hope you find out what's wrong or the pain goes away quickly by itself!
I hope your arm and hand feel better soon. You're right, until we can't use it, we don't know how much we really do.
Maybe you should see a doctor :o( Please do if this doesn't get better soon.
Hope your left arm gets better soon.
I've had surgery on both hands at different times and I know just how you feel. I have long hair - try putting that in a ponytail with one hand; doing up a bra is practically impossible; buttering a slice of bread with one hand - the list is endless. I hope you recover soon.
I hope that hand gets better! You have to stitch!
I noticed that you haven't blogged for a while. Hope you are OK and that your arm is getting better!!
