I'm looking for some information, I have a stretch BPI my ROM is still not that great. My delt. and chest muscles are still giving me lots of problems.

In the last few weeks my shoulder has really been hurting so I had MRI it shows Bone spur to shoulder joint, and tendonitis to supersparnious muscle same nerve being affected.

My question, has anyone had similar problem occur after injury? Any home stuff you did that helped? I will see ortho. next week just thought maybe and I was interested in others information and problems if they had any that occurred after Stretch BPI.

Thanks for the help

still looking for any bit of help I can get....

Hi Mary Beth,

Sorry to hear about your recent symptoms. Have you seen your ortho yet? What did he say?

I am reluctantly having neurolysis surgery on July 30th. My shoulder is subluxed (it's moved forward in the joint) b/c my deltoid is so atrophied (due to the nerve damage), I still have nerve pain, numbness, tingling and no shoulder movement. I am not looking forward to it.

Let me know how you're doing!

MB,

I saw the doctor today (ortho) He gave me a shot of cortisone and wants me to start PT 3Xweek to help with some ROM and tendonitis. I really like him. He was amazed over the BPI all together because of the C5,6,7 and that I have Horner's from this. All because I had a lymph node removed. he was surprised at the area being affected delt. and stuff. because he can't believe they stretched my arm during surgery to cause this to happen?? Well live and learn.

sorry to hear you have to have surgery that stinks. But we BPI people are tough and know how to get through ANYTHING right LOL.

you keep me posted on how you are and what is going on
