- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

Welcome Toadey,
A BPI Specialist should be able to tell you the answer to your question. I suggest a thorough consultation with a BPI Specialist. There is a link to the Medical Directory on the Home Page.
Good luck.

Re: Brachial Plexus
Welcome to the boards.
Definitely check out the BPI specialist board as Carolyn mentioned. As we all know the pain can be unbearable sometimes. It seems as if (from most of our friends on the boards) that prescription drugs do not take care of the severe pain. Physical therapy etc. seems to help the most. I hope you get a good report from your doctor. If not, remember a second opinion is always a great idea. Best of luck to you and keep us posted.
