Hi...
You are in early days with this injury.
Stretched is good for a TBPI...there is much that can be regained. When I had my accident being hit by one car East bound thrown 75ft and hit and run over by a second car going West. I sustained a mild stretching of of my BP on my right side also. In about 6 months...all the pain and tingling had disappeared and I was lifting my shoulder and using this arm well. In my mind I had no choice. My left arm had been torn out of my spinal cord and no use.
Keep strong. Keep up with your Physio self/hospital and find the best Dr's in Australia .
Aquatic therapy is a godsend! In the water, you have two armpits, and while folks without our injuries laugh, it's the best feeling in the world. I do lots of Range-of-Motion (RoM) exercises (often 6 hours a week) and my neurosurgeon (had nerve transfer surgery in August of 2009) has me adding 5-10 pounds of weight, but the therapist has yet to really add that. I can lay on the table and "curl" a 1 or 2 pound weight; I can use therapy tubing when doing pulling exercises; and I use a recumbent bike with arm slides to get my shoulders/arms moving.
Don't let any tell you you don't know your body. While we all have limitations, we also have strengths that we haven't yet plumbed. Good luck to you!
