Hello Paul,

I tried to search on the Web for the machine you mentioned -Collardo but couldn't find anything.
Do you have a website address perhaps ?

Thank you,
Elisa.

Hi Paul. I'm checking with Dr. Wolfe as well (HSS right?). What exactly are your injuries? I'm not sure if I'll qualify or not but I have a C5-C7 Brachial Plexus Root Avulsion. My entire left arm is paralyzed, dominant arm may I add. Does anyone have the same type of injury as I do? If so, has surgery worked? I'm desperately seeking a chance to get some function back. I'm a 26 year old female & its been 8 months post motorcycle accident.

Hi Liz. I'm checking into that same exact surgery & was wondering what your injury was. I'm not sure if I'll qualify or not because I have a brachial plexus root avulsion. Its been 8 months post accident.

Hi Paul. I'm also checking with Dr. Wolfe and need to see if I qualify for surgery. I have a brachial plexus root avulsion, its been 8 months post accident. Whats your injury & what happened when you went to see Dr. Wolfe?

Hi Princess...just to let you know I have emailed you more details about my particular injury and surgery..it is a very common procedure here in the U.k. and the U.S. I hope that helps a bit...let me know how you get on.

Take care
Lizzy B

Hi Halai you can not wait any longer. No one had told me and i was post 1 and 1/2 years when i had my 1st surgery. I was lyed to by that doctor and told i had a 90% chance of geting it back. Pick a doctor fast and move. You should have an oparation with in the next month. Pick a doctor 80 90 % based on how fast they can move. Good luck are in New York?

Hi Princess i have 5 and 6 out 7 a little week the doctor wanted to do some pocdures that i did not agrey with. They where just not right for me. He may do the right thing for others. He aslso could not or would not give me any names of pepole he worked on. I found one on the web, the hospitale for spicial surgery. When i ask him for the phone # with the mans ok, the doc toke for ever and never got it to me. And then when i found the guy and the guy had nothing but good things to say about the doc. I told the doc and he was not happy that looked the guy up. And then his staff forgot to get insurance aprovle. So i stoped it two days before cut day and happy i did. be carfull we can't talk about doc's here they wipe out posting before any one can read them. It happen to me about 10 times so you have to danece around or write direct to each person and that sucks becouse we are only speaking the truth.............Paul
