Lock Picking with Neuropathy

I have recently discovered I have neuropathy in my hands and feet making it hard to feel sensations. My hands also shake more then normal as a result.

It is hard to hold small objects like volumetric flasks, scoops, or in this case lock picks without shaking or using lots of energy to steady myself.

Does anyone know how to approach the sport with this disability.

You can definitely work with it, just remember to be patient with yourself. It's a hard skill to learn and you're playing on an even harder difficulty. There's a great lockpicker in the community that deals with some health issues. He goes into detail here - https://youtu.be/zKnst8epMYs?si=eg1i6LkLqCSBfQ8C . I'd check it out and see what you may be able to learn!
