<t>Yeah i get that restless leg syndrom, it drives me crazy, i found that taking vitamin E helped a real lot, but i just had to stop taking it because there is a study saying that it can cause heart problems, you can't win. As for arm pain my arm is hurting more now because the cold weather is setti...

<t>Hey Gale, i have not personnaly had the surgury, but my BPI surgeon told me about DREZ and said sometimes it works and sometimes it dosent. She said that it can affect your leg. Just think long and hard about it before you make your decision. I have pretty severe pain and decided against having t...

<t>How is the recovery process after surgery, is it painful because they are restreching the skin? And does the implant add noticable weight to your arm, just wondering if it hurts your shoulder with the extra weight. Can i ask why you needed 5 surgeries. I don't want to go through that. any feedbac...

Thanks for replying

<t>I was wondering if anyone knows of a product that can be worn under a shirt, that makes your arm and shoulder look more normal sized as compared to our non injured arm. Personally my injured arm and shoulder are now so much smaller, since there is no muscle there it looks very obvious that i have...

<t>Tina, when i first stopped wearing my sling, i had the same problem with the blood flowing to my hand. It made me kind of nervous but after some time it will subside, even now it still happens occasionally. I talked to my Dr. about it and she said not to worry about it.I don't know what the mod q...

<t>Hi Linda, i have a visible scar on my neck, chest and arm from nerve transfer surgery. My Dr. told me to use Vitamin E and massage it into the scar, it did help lighten the scar but not make it dissapear. I know this is probably more important to the women who are having or had surgery, but the s...
