I've had alot of back problems for most of my life like herniated discs, degenerated discs, and sciatica. I've noticed others have posted about spinal problems numbing ect. I was wondering if the Erb's palsy causes any of this or if its just a coincidence.
Thanks,
Sunny

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: back problems?

I have ALWAYS had what the doctors referred to as a "weak - bad back", sciatica, scapular winging, painful shoulders, neck and a weak right leg.
There are no studies on the total impact that obpi has on our body.
There are no long range studies on the secondary injuries caused by compensation and weakness.
When we go to a doctor they have no idea how many of our physical problems are related to obpi.
Some are open to listening and others assume if other issues were connected to obpi they would know about it.
