Hello everyone :0)

I live in TB Florida and was hoping someone out there knows of a good BP Doc in or near Florida! I was injured during a routing surgical proceedure 2 months ago when the MD severed my 5th nerve root & crushed my 6th. He "said" after he noticed his mistake he sewed it back together???
Presently I have no use of my shoulder & verrrry limited use of the l/hand.

Even worse is the PAIN which is excruciating and 24/7 despite meds & several nerve blocks.

I checked the resource page, and those doc's are a no go.

My fingers & toes are crossed the someone out there can help me


PS. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL!

I do not know much about the mayo clinic in Jacksonville except that my brother was being treated for cancer their recently and asked if they had bpi docs there. He was told yes. I have not checked it out any further,but you might want to check out the mayos website in Jacksonville to see what is available. Did you contact the docs on the resource guide for Florida to see if they could give you any advice or direction? I will keep looking and asking around? Judy

Please call me at 727-729-1223. I would love to speak with you as I know someone in Clearwater who may be able to help you.

Best,
Susan
