I finally took the step of seeing Dr. Nath (the 10-minute clinic format). I'm 36 and was told in the past that there was not much more to do for my OBPI. But I thought surely a lot has changed in medicine, and my good arm is getting overused, so I will try to get some help.

Dr. Nath was direct, and detailed four options for me that we can pursue. The order of importance of those was backwards from what I had assumed. As a result, suddenly my options seem a lot more relevant. For example, I figured the Mod Quad would be at the top of the list, with the options getting poorer below that, but it's not. It's the last thing on the list with more useful options above it.

I don't want to blab about my case - for now I have some thinking to do about what comes next.

Oh, and I saw Dr. Nath's book. No impression other than: hey, finally we have a book to refer to and it has color pictures! Amazon does sell it, but it is a print-on-demand book and you buy it from vbworm.

Erik That's great news and it is a lot to think about but when your done I'd love to know what Dr Nath suggests. My son Frankie is 14 he had the mod quad this past Nov with Dr Nath it took so long because other doctors said it wouldn't work but it did. Dr Nath has suggested about 4 other surgery's be done the other doctors say no way should these procedures be done so now we are in the thinking stage also and we hate it. when your ready to blab we would love to listen.

That's so wonderful that you were able to get options. I also would be interested in knowing what he suggested as I'm trying to get to him now. Good luck in the thinking.
