Re: Jacksonville Mayo

<t>I made my appt.w/ Dr. Murray and he wants to do a muscle/tendon transfer in August. He will be using the latisimus dorsi and the trapezeis (SP). He said it would give me some motion. I'd be able to lift my arm at the most 12" and get some lateral motion. Sounds weird but I'd love to get my arm of...

Jacksonville Mayo

<t>Has anyone been to Dr. Murray for a muscle/tendon transfer? I had the nerve transfer at Stanford 2 years ago with no deltoid improvement. I went to Rochester a year ago and they said to wait. SS has not come through so $ are a factor. I'm with my parents in Clearwater FL. I came here for ankle su...

The Lat Dorsi transfer seems to work for children because you have to relearn it in your head. I'm 49 and they weren't all that encouraging about me regaining the use of my shoulde...

Dr. Warren King in Palo Alto told me the option was mine to try. this is my first time finding this board a...
