Re: WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS?
Armstrong, Your accident and injuries sound similar to mine. For me the deltoid never came back. My doc felt a slight flicker in my bicep after about two months. After about 6 I could use the elbow fairly well. After about a year, I had pretty good use. You learn to cope and deal. Chopping it off is...

Re: RESEARCH STUDY?
I don't see what it can hurt. I'd ask the doc what all is involved.

Re: Dealing with Chronic Pain
Didn't have avulsions, but I take Lyrica 600mg at night for the nerves. Pain comes and goes during the day. I mostly just deal. I agree with the exercise helping. I can't do much with the upper body anymore but a little so I've gotten back into jogging and lifting weights with the legs in the gym. I...

Re: golfing with BPI
My injured arm is my left and I am right handed and play with right handed clubs. I dont try to kill the ball now and have lost some distance but I think I'm better than I was pre injury. Thats not saying alot. But I bet I've taken off 4 or 5 strokes.

Re: Unfortunately, new to this site:0(
Agreed on both the exercises and seeking out a BPI specialist. The Lyrica however did help me but I didn't start taking it til 2yrs after. The first 6-10 months were awful as far as nerve pain goes but it subsides.

Seatbelts - A pain in the .....
Ok, question? What does everyone do with their seatbelt when they drive? I tuck the shoulder belt under my armpit. It really bothers me over the shoulder both mentally and physically. Plus if I had a serious frontal colision with it normal, my arm would probably be 100 paralyzed. So I got pulled ove...

Re: 'How do I get the 411 on others that are posting?'
Also consider that we can get on the live chat Weds nights with Mel, Jen and whomever else and talk in real time. Or 2 or 3 of us can get on there whenever and just talk about whatever as opposed to us leaving messages and waiting two or three days for a reply.
