Bilateral Brachial Plexus Palsy
Has anyone been diagnosed with a bilateral case of brachial plexus palsy without a birth trauma?

Try posting in the Traumatic BPI section, you may get more response there.
Re: Bilateral Brachial Plexus Palsy
I have weakness on both sides, but the main impact is to the right. And the weakness I feel on the left is something that most doctors do not seem to want to talk about. I tell them I have left side involved to, and they seem to ignore that. They have hard enough time dealing with the right side. So far, they have no official cause. It just started in late 2000.
Good Luck!!!
