Hey Jenny thanks. Well he's more cocevetive, which I guses is good for me becouses of my bad exspernce. I can't say with who I do't want this erased. Well my tricipt works so he say's lets put it around to my bicipt and let gravety take my arm down. I don't know much about this. If anyone know's or had it done please write. and thanks to Rob to even tho we hardlly hear from him. Theses two Doctors sound very good. I saw doctor Andrew Price also a real nice person. They both gave me some new hope for some use of my arm.DR. Grossman is with Dr Price if any is looking for him. Paul

What kind of surgey did you have? I had nerve graphs done on C5, C6, and C7. I had my arm in a sling for four weeks after my surgery. After four weeks i started physio where i did passive rang of motion exercises. My PT gave me streching exercises to do at home like streching my fingers wrist and shoulder. I hope this helps you.

My husband has bilateral brachial plexitis injury. Has anyone had improvement with Immuno-globulin therapy. It has been suggested to us, but with no data to back it up, we were sceptical

Hi Paul i am 18 years old and i crashed a motorbike in March 2002 and in my local hospital here in Caithness North Scotland when the doctors came to see me after investigating what was wrong with me, they came into my room and said you are very lucky you did't break anything you have a BPI which after finding out what it was made me think jees are they fit to be doctors they were going to let me just get beter as time went on but i got transfered to doctor Birch from Stanmore and after examining me i found i severed C 5,6,7 and damaged C 8 and T 1 which left me with my hole upper right body powerless and my arm so after seeing Mr Birch i had the surgery on 17th of May 2002 and as of yet do not have any movement just flickering in my muscles but i am happy with the progress and am due down to london again on the 10th of this month to get another graft to my bicep nerve as it did not work proper and then next summer i have to get a tendon in my wrist transfered to give me more movement and power in it my hand is also working well now but extreamly sensitive and painfull expecially my index finger and thumb. thank you for listening kevin
