My story goes back about 7 years when I was very young and very dumb living for today and never tomorrow. To make a long story short I was 17 hang out with my friends Drinking and I the genius decide to ride my bike home completely shit faced, next thing you know I'm waking up in the hospital with my back in horrible pain and a Right Arm from the shoulder almost down to the Elbow completely numb. The horrible thing is I have no idea how this happened so its was hard to explain my injury to my doctor I suppose. Initially my doctor told me its a nerve injury and will be fine in 6 months which turned into 1.5 yr s, then 5 yrs and a X-ray,the 6 yrs and some physiotherapy and back to square 1. I believe I pretty much self diagnosed myself from reading information off of a few websites, I believe its Axillary Nerve Damage.
Ive been working out for almost a year and cannot progress my lifts due to the right shoulder it effects my bench press, shoulder raises, and basically any exercise that involves my shoulders. I have about 40-50% strength in my right shoulder compared to my left and about 40% feeling on the skin of my shoulder.
I went to my doctor the other day and demanded a EMG (Feb,13th) which seemed to irritate him when I asked. From what I am reading I feel a bit depressed because its been 7 years and most of what Ive read seems to say this should have been dealt with within the first 6 months. My question is Do I have any hope to regain the strength in my arm threw surgery or rehabilitation of some sort? Or will this haunt me for the rest of my life?
Thanks Kyzar
