I was just wondering if there can be different bone growth in your collor bone, near the shoulder, due to BPI.

When I was born, my mother's doctor was out of town. A doctor that would not perform c-sections was forced upon us. Being 10 lbs, my right shoulder got stuck under my mom's pubic bone. The doctor pulled me out by my head, which ripped/streched all the nerves in my neck and arm (So, OBPI).
I've had two surgeries at 9 months old, and 3 years old.
My mother suffered as well. She needed both brain surgery and a shunt--She still sufferes today.
My parents lost the court case due to a terrible jurey.
That's about it!
Hope I can find somebody my age to talk to :)

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

I just checked and yes my bone feels smaller but my shoulder is also shorter from my neck to arm...hmm
I never really thought about it before. I wonder how many other adults have the same thing?

Re: Different bone growth?
The other day I was looking in my mirror at my arm. I was really focusing at what was different in my BPI arm compared to my good arm. I saw my collar bone wasn't the same. I never really thought about the bones in the BPI side being different, but I guess they are. If it is the same for others please let me know.
