I sure do! I lost the use of my right pinky a few years ago after a bad break. I declined to undergo surgery that would require pins and extensive recovery, accepting minimal treatment the doctor told me it would probably lose most of the strength and flexibility in my pinky.

I went that route because I didn’t think it would be a big deal. It was. A much bigger deal than I would have imagined. I’ve adapted, but you’d be shocked at how many things I drop even these many years later, because I’m relying on a pinky that I don’t instinctively realize isn’t much good anymore.
