Re: Brachial Plexus Injury Cuased by a Mamogram? Anyone else?

<t>Hey Angie,<br/> I've never had a mamogram, but if you are in a weird position and they are pulling on you, I could see how that could happen. My injury was caused by the position I was in for a c-section and from straining my neck during that time to see my new daughter. It is a rare cause, but i...

Re: pain (again)

<t>Hi Chemochick,<br/> Sorry to hear about your injury. And sorry you have to deal with cancer and this. I'll keep you in my prayers. After my surgery, I had pain immediately in my shoulder and 2 weeks later numbness in my fingers and 2 weeks after that I couldn't use my bicep. I couldn't lift or ho...

Re: New here-and wondering

<t>Hi Andi,<br/> I don't think I can offer you much help... but I was curious when I saw your injury was due to surgery. My injury resulted from surgery as well, a c-section to deliver my daughter in May 2004. I'm so sorry to hear all of your symptoms. I'm doing good and have no pain just some numbn...

Re: pain (again)

<r>Hi Jason,<br/> I was injured during a c-section to deliver my daughter on 5/10/04. During surgery my arms were tied down at a 90 degree angle. While they were stitching me up I was straining my neck up and over my left shoulder to watch them clean up my daughter. Being in that position for an ext...

Re: pain (again)

<t>Hi Michele,<br/> My injury was not as severe and I am pain free. No avulsions so that made a huge difference. I still check in on the boards and participate where I feel I can contribute to help someone (even though I am pain free and not having many problems). I don't know why I still check... j...

Re: C-Section Again - Could I be at risk for another injury?

<t>Jo,<br/> Hi. My doctor thinks it happened because of the way i was turning my neck during the surgery while they were stitching me up. I was straining my neck to the left to look over my shoulder to watch them clean up my daughter. Being in that postion for an extended period of time with my arms...

Re: C-Section Again - Could I be at risk for another injury?

<t>Kath,<br/> Found out we are having another girl! Her name will be Isabella. I'm hoping to get my c-section scheduled soon so I'll know the date she'll arrive! Now that I've made the decisions to have another c-section and have prayed about it quite a bit, I'm completely at ease with the thought a...

Re: Anyone with a similar injury?

<t>Josee,<br/> Hi. My injury resulted from the position i was in during a c-section to deliver my daughter. Like you, I had no avulsions or tears. My injury happened 5/10/04 and it look a very long time for the pain to go away, about a year and a half. Now I'm doing well but I still have numbness fr...
