New Here- My story

Post by tmkendra »

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the brachial plexus message boards but im actually not here for myself. My brother suffered a BPI last March 17th, so coming up on a year. He hit a tree head on and has no motor activity in C5, C6 & C7. His doctors never did anything for him and now its been so long we think it might be too late. His shoulder hangs very low and we are currently working to get all his records to maybe go somewhere else in the U.S. to be seen. Perhaps the Mayo Clinic. Can anyone out there tell me what the best route for him may be ? I know that you lose muscle mass every month adn that his nerves may all be dead now, but his doctors neglected him and probably kept him from ever using his arm again.

THank you for all of your input
