Has anybody ever had scare tissue removed from the Brachial Plexus Nerve? What was the outcome from the surgery? Did you experience increased nerve and muscle pain?

My son had Mod Quad done last year and while the doc was moving stuff around he removed some scar tissue he saw from his nerves he had primary (nerve grafting) done 13 yrs ago and after removing the scar tissue my son came out of surgery with added finger movement and more wrist movement and no he has no pain from the removing of scar tissue Good luck Mare

I had a nerve transplant done in November 05, and just recently had a nerve biopsy surgury done. However, when the surgeon exposed my nerves they noticed a great deal of scare tissue. They removed the scare tissue and applied electrical stimulus to the nerve and noticed contraction of my bicep. So they cancelled the biopsy and started intense physical therapy. The biopsy was for determining whether or not the nerves can sup[port a muscle/tendon transfer
