a question
i have had a low-grade fever for the past 2 or 3 days. my hand feels like it is more painful than usual. is being sick or not feeling well cause a BPI to be more painful? i just had surgery 6 weeks ago and got my splint off last week. so i am thinking it may be from being stiff due to being immobilized or if being sick can cause it to hurt more. ?????

Re: a question
my son doesn't complain about his arm when he gets sick. He has gotten sick after each of his surgeries though as immune systems are weakened after an operation... hope you get to feeling better! Recovering from surgery and being sick at the same time is not fun.

Dear Joyce,
Being 6 weeks out from surgery I suggest checking with your Doctor just to be on the safe side, huh? Let us know...

Re: a question
I agree with Carolyn...
Sounds almost surgery related or a slight infection

Re: a question
Sounds like it may be a complication/infection from surgery. Infections can travel in the bloodstream. If you spot a redline traveling up your arm go to an ER room immediately. I hope everything heals soon!

- 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 :)
Re: a question
Hi,
I'm Sarah. I don't know whether I can be of any help, I cannot relate to the current surgery part, but when I get sick my scar on my neck gets red. I had a neuroma removed when I was nine months old. So, it is that scar that gets red. Everybody's body is different, maybe your hand will be affected.
Hope you heal up!

As Sarah said, everyone is a little different but yes, our BPI'S are affected by our over all health.
