Loosing strength in good arm
Well , I have been loosing strength in my good arm for the past few months. I can hardly pour a cup of coffee from a carafe. I had an emg a few weeks ago.I was going to have an epidural in my neck to reduce the swelling on the cord by the bone spurs.It got cancelled an hour before the procedure, because the fluoroscopic machine broke. Has anyone ever had this procedure done? I am scheduled for 3 epidurals. I am in no pain ,because of the methadone.I am just weak.

- 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 can't believe they had to cancel you at the last minute. Have they rescheduled you yet?
Feel better
