>        Anyone else out there unable to raise, or am I the only one? 

    Hi Amy: Yeah, I had to give it up or at least not do it very often.
    I developed a severe Trigger Finger (in my left thumb) which was very
    painful and debilitating. I opted to quit raising in lieu of having
    surgery. After a year, my trigger thumb returned to normal. I do
    occasionally raise a small bowl, but nothing more than that. I'm
    sorry I can't continue to do it since I really loved it, but I'm not
    for having surgery and decided this was one process I could live
    without. Perhaps I just didn't hold my work correctly, whatever, but
    the result was my trigger thumb and pain.
