New Nerve growth need advice

Post by Brandon_3 »

I just got back from the neurologist that did the emg that Dr. nath ordered to see if a muscle transfer was possible. And the news is wonderful, not only do I have a nerve below my elbow that can be used, I have 2 of three nerves that have regenerated all the way to my hand. So a free muscle transfer is probable, I just am not sure I want to go thru Dr. Nath. He said he will only do the one muscle in my forearm. I would like to find out if the mayo clinic will do 2 muscles one for my forearm and one for my tricep, since I have the necessary nerves. Does anyone know how to go about contacting mayo and telling them my story. Any advice would be great.
thanks

Hey. My name is Janet and since I am a minor my mom went onto the Mayo website and found a link on how to request an appointment. The link was under Mayoclinic.org and then go under brachial plexus under diseases. Under there there will be a link called on-line appointment request. Then enter your information adn they will call you in a few days. Then you send records and they'll review it to see if it's a possible case. Hope that helped.
