it seems like there are a lot of people on here lately with surgical stretches of the BP nerves. if you know of anyone having surgery on the shoulder region, i would hope you would inform them of the danger of the brachial plexus nerve being stretched.

I try to tell anyone going for surgery to talk to the doctors about the position they are in for anesthesia.
My friends cousin recived a bpi stretch during hip surgery. The position he was in caused it. He is still in PT and pain.
