Yes, while it seems discriminatory on the surface they would/have argued that they are approving coverage at the plan I requested but I won't receive the standard rate. Because of her injury, she is in an elevated risk category with the potential for it to cost more from them. I was quoted $225 and ...

We have lost our group employer coverage and are purchasing individual insurance. Kaiser called me today regarding my 10-year old daughter to ask more questions regarding her BPI. They informed me that while they will approve insurance, it may come at a higher rate because of her risk level. I'm won...

Anyone ever tried functional neurology with their child? It was recommended to me by my chiropractor but the one he recommends is quite a drive. From what I've read on it, it sounds intriguing. My daughter also has some other sensory and behavior issues and I'm intrigued to see if pathways can indee...

Jennifer! That's gotta be it! Thank you so much for taking the time to post. My daughter is always leaning on her arm while writing or reading or eating at the table and I wouldnt be surprised if it were related. The pain isnt constant and doesnt stop her activity but this makes a lot of sense. I th...

My 8 year old daughter has an LOBPI. She has struggled with the obvious sensory things in addition to her injury but at about age 5 also developed a verbal tic and has now progressed to some OCD behaviors. We saw a neurologist a while back who suggested we run an MRI to assess if any portion(s) of h...

The problem is the specialist told us at the time that he hadn't personally reviewed the MRI but had read the report and told us all was fine. So when I saw the report I was confused because those results don't indicate a completely normal shoulder joint. I made an appt. with our orthopedist and am ...

Positive on the findings. It was an MRI read report. Our BPI specialist told us that there was no shoulder deformity as he had expected there might be based on the findings. Is it possible that they were reading her external rotation? Those numbers would make sense. I'll email you for the info. Than...

Our daughter had an MRI done and the findings reported this: slight assymetry of the lower cervical spine brachial plexus nerve roots, slightly more prominent on the left.....slight assymetry of the glenoid version angle with the left angle measuring 78 degrees and right angle measuring 9 degrees......

Dr. Hentz at Stanford has recommended that my 7 yo daughter undergo arthroscopic contracture release and a muscle transfer. They can do it here locally. However, after speaking to a doctor friend of ours he suggested that we consider pursuing surgeons who do this as their specialty (i.e Kozin, Water...

DD is almost 7 and has a LOBPI. She's complained for a long time about pain in her elbow, especially while stretching. Her BPI specialist blows it off as unrelated. Her orthopedist ran x-rays for it but didn't see anything. Her OT is convinced its real but isn't sure what the reason would be. Anyone...
