Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: To make an incredibly LONG story short...
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 :)

Who all wears a splint?

Post by SarahxG »

Hey everybody! Just curious who all wears a splint at night to help elbow contracture. I wear a Dyna Splint. I also wanted to know if anybody gets pretty bad pain after they wear it? In the middle of the night I tend to take my splint of, and have no memory of doing so in the morning. Well, for the past three nights I have somehow managed to keep it on. This morning I took it off and had TERRIBLE pain all through my arm. I do not have pain, so my mom told me she doesn't want me wearing it until she can call a doctor. However, I thought the pain may just be because everything in my arm is being stretched. If anybody else experiences this please let me know!

Thanks :)
