United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Oct.25,2001 I was crushed at work between a warehouse door and a forklift with abundle of lumber on the forks.Luckily, I came out with a broken collarbone and BPI.Six months later my Orth. doctor fixed the collarbone.So,I was sent to Mayo clinic in Minn. for the nerve damage.I went there three times within a year to recheck my progress and each time it was inproving somewhat,so then said I should have real close to full recovery,and did not need to see me again.Well,it is almost 2004 and I have had really no amprovement this past year.I alsa been to aggressive pysical therapy since Jan.2002.I can raise my arm to 55 degrees.If anyone has had an injury like mine or similar,with injury to the axillary nerve help me out.

Hello Sandi,
Did you post on the traumatic injury message boards? There are more people there who were injured in accidents. I hope you will find others to share information. Best of luck!
