Hi, i live in the UK so can't help you with referring a BPI experienced doc. But in the 'resources' section of this site (if i remember rightly) there are listings of Dr's who are experienced in dealing with brachial plexus injury. My injury was caused by a motorcycle accident but i have seen posters on here whos injury was caused by surgery so hopefully one or two will see your post and help you out with some answers. Good luck!

Can a pacemaker be put in the lower abdomen or side? Does anyone have a pacemaker? I may need to get one, but I don't want it to be above my breast were it can been seen. Can they be put in your side or lower abdomen? Why or why not?
