Hello everyone...Merry Christmas...

I have some good news, my previously winged scapula is no longer winged...

My sister met some who made a full recovery from tbpi...I emailed him and he recommended Dr. David S. Campion, who has previously worked at the Mayo Clinic. His site has some good information on the basics of nerve injuries.

I called the Mayo Clinic and scheduled an appointment for mid february...they said it will cost $13,000 just for the diagnostic tests, which I will pay for with a credit card since I do not have insurance...

Also I was searching the UBPN forum and found a post by Christopher about Dr. Shimon Rochkind who works with lasers to treat tbpi...and is based in Israel...and I hear medical care inexpensive in comparison to the US.

I also found a doctor in India who will perform tbpi surgery for $2,500

I was wondering what are your thoughts...on going abroad for treatment...has anyone done it?

Thanks for input

Happy Holidays!
