Surgery on what type of injury...
Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2007 8:11 am
Hi all!
Just hoping to hear from people who have had surgery as adults and was wondering what type if injuries you had in the first place....
I have a right sided C5 rupture (nerve torn but not near the spine) and C7 avulsion (nerve torn at base of the spine) and my local neuro has advised that there's nothing to be done about the C7 - basically surgery would be a waste of time. He's not a brachial plexus specialist though and this was not the answer I was looking for.
Hoping to hear if anyone here has had surgery on avulsed nerves?
Thanks
