Is OBPI related to other health problems?

Hi All,
Wow! I've never talked to anyone else with Erbs palsy. I hope someone can share his or her experience with this. My name is Heather and I've just found this web site and message board. When I found this site I was looking for information about Erbs Palsy and the long-term effects it has on my body. I'm 24 years old and have very limited use of my right arm. After a tendon transfer and PT, I am able to move my wrist and have some control of my fingers but cannot lift my arm above my waist. The freezing pains that were very common to me when I was younger have subsided but recently I have begun to feel aches all over the right side of my body especially my knee and lower back. Additionally, the vision in my right eye is failing while my left eye is fine! Has anyone else experienced these kinds of things? Everything that I've found on-line focuses on the affects on the hand and arm.
