United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

HI! I was researching nerve damage and ended up here. Seems like a remarkable site. My sister had a work related injury a few years ago. She went thru several surgeries which only added more pain and further injury. Her hospital visits have gone from bi-monthly to weekly now. She is in SO much pain that she can't take it. Her pain leads to excruciating headaches. She has recently had a mild heart attack because of this. The pain is so bad and often that it's taking a toll on her body.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!

So sorry to hear how your sister is suffering so...has she been diagnosed with a brachial plexus nerve injury or some other type of shoulder injury.
I would suggest she needs to see a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and a pain specialist to deal with the relentless pain. I went through years of not being taken seriously and being without adequate pain medication because of ignorant physicians, so my heart aches for her. She has a "right" to adequate pain control so she can have some quality of life, regardless of the source of the pain. Maybe an opinion from another doctor is in order.
Good luck.

Dr. Belzberg at Johns HOpkins owrks with pain! I have hear amazing htings come from his patients! If that is too far please seek a pain clinic for your sister! If the pain is that bad, she really needs a pain person to hep her!
