I thought I would explain mine.
I have broken my neck twice. The last time, recently, I
injured my spinal cord and nerves a bit, just a nick.

This cost me the strength and partial use of my left arm and both hands forefinger and thumb, esp. the left. You cannot see it to look at me and I can still dance but I must baby my left arm and if I write, type or use both hands where it requires my thumb and forefinger, it gets very tired and causes great pain. I am medicated for this.
I cannot lift over 30lbs and cannot stand or sit for too long. I try to ignore these things and constantly injure my arm and have to take extra pain meds. I cannot get it through my thick head that those abilities are compromised. If I don't answer an email or if I don't post, I am over my limit for my arm and fingers!
Yes, it's odd but it's true. It comes from injuring C5 - C-6

Does anyone else have a disability? Do you care to share?
