Help! Please! Bill-C Posted: Sep 18, 2002 2:02 PM Reply

Hi everyone. My name is Bill, I am 32 and was in a car accident this past June. I fractured vertebraes C4,5 &6 as well as herniated discs C5-6 & C6-7. My right arm has little feeling in it and I have very little use in it. My hand strength has increase 100% since the accident and is fairly strong. I have very little bicep flexion and I have no deltoid whatsoever, front, rear nothing. I cannot turn my wrist palm up. My tricep has gotten quite a bit stronger since the accident, I can now do extensions with 10 lbs. while lying on my back. I have very little feeling from my neck down to my thumb. I had an emg done and there is some response in my muscles but my doctor has not diagnosed me with anything other than saying I strecthed my nerves and muscles.Does anyone know if this type of injury will heal since I am getting some muscles back? What are my options or what should I do? Help please

Bill you should see a spelist right away we have a Dr. Resores area that can help. What town are you from? Your doctor can, and will mislead you. Mine did, plenty of them. Keep us posted. We'll help .Paul
