Dr. Hentz Standford

Post by motoxxxracer_34 »

I had nerve graphing perform by him last may 04. He was only able to repair a few nerves to the spine and connect them to shoulder then to elbow, said could not repairpast elbow. But he never cut open down there, they reopen my heartsurgery scar fromthe accident and made another cut under nippleto armpit. He says at best i will be able to get 70 degrees of movement in shoulder and possibly in elbow be able to bend. So far I can do slight shrug, I have some feeling in certain spots above elbow/bicep. No movement or twitching. Just wondering if anyone has hadsurgery fromhim, I wish I would ofknown about Dr. Nath. It seems he helps a lot. A

He had an EMG done by his physical medicine and rehab. dr. An EMG is a test in which small needles are inserted into the muscles to record electrical activity inside the muscle. He had avulsions too.
