Don't know where to start

My 23 year old daughter was injured 8 months ago in a boating acident. Her arm is 1/2 the size it was. The doctors are not nerve specialists but rather bone. They keep saying it will take time. That the nerve was injured but we just have to wait. I have been searching to find a qualified Doctor. There is insurance I just can't get a referral because the Doctors she is seeing says this is not Brachial plexus. But everything I reading says I should find a specialist. How do I go about find one and then getting an appointment. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

hi
You didnt mention where you are at. I'll assume you are in the states since you mentioned insurance. Drs Klien and Teil at Lsu will look at your daughters records in order to determine if they can help her. I sent all my records to them first and Dr Teil ordered a few other tests b4 he decided to see me. you should contact them at LSU they are listed elsewhere on this site as a link.
Also i beleive Dr nath can do this too. He is in Tx. Please contact one of these drs asap since time is important if surgeries are an option.
I wish the best for you and your daughter and if I can be of any help finding addresse or #'s just email me
