Heyla all,
I was doing some research on Erb's, and found out about the four different types. I was wondering, how many people here know what type they have? If you do, what is it? I have no idea which type I have, though I'm inclined to think that it's neuroma (scar tissue). That's the only thing I can think of that would explain the lasting effects while not being too severe. Anywayz, lemme know!

lindsey- just wanted to let you know that a neuroma happens when there is a rupture- it is how the body tries to connect the two ends (could be a partial rupture and not a complete one however).

A good bpi specialist could probably look at the movement you have now and tell you what he/she thinks you had. They know how to assess the movement pretty well I think...but otherwise, one would not know what the extent of the injury is unless they go in there and look. EMG's have been reported to be inaccurate.
