United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Three years after his accident and a full avulsion of 5 nerves to the brachial plexus, Chris is ready to amputate because reconstructive surgery has done nothing for him. Has anyone here done amputation of arm after TBPI? Chris has asked me to go ahead and schedule surgery appointment for amputation...has anyone had an amputation who can help us decide?

read through it-lots of talk has been going on regarding your questions.

another out is dans slings only thing is they are custom made how old is he i mean hell grow out of em if hes growin but its just 100 bucks a sling maybe you can get your ins to foot the bill but these slings are wonderful i felt the difference first time i put it on.dan is a great guy he's been like this 20 years.he not only sold me the sling he called and talked to me and he is such an inspiring person.but the sling is key.it takes the hanging pain off him and he'll feel like a new person i promise.i thought about amputation but i'm kinda attached to my arm.plus all of em say even when the arms gone the pain stays.but the sling really works and i stand 100 percent behind this claim.i think everyone that needs a sling must get one of these.so look up dan on the tbpi board i swear he will be a godsend.
