- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I was born with Erb's Palsy back in 1986. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska so not much was known about the injury and doctors had little knowledge of how to treat it. I don't know a whole lot about my injury, such as what severity of an injury it is. I am certain there was no tearing. I was born paralyzed in the left arm, but with the help of a lot of physical and occupational therapy I have almost full usage of my arm. It is actually very difficult for people to notice the injury, but I can see and "feel" the difference. I have scapular winging and can't supinate my arm hardly at all. My parents were never told about groups to get in touch with so we knew nothing about how to treat it and surgery was never an option because we didn't know they were even available. I am basically here to learn more about this injury and to finally have people who understand it to talk to.
