A questin about my tbpi

[admin]

Hello and shalom to everybody,
My name is Shahar Shemesh and I'm 27 years old, living in Israel. 4 month ago, while I was busy in my physical therapy studying degree I had a bad motorcycle accident which crashed my skull bones and ruined my brachial plexus nerves, mostly the superior trunk made by c5 c6 that influence badly the axillary and musculocutaneus nerves.
After 3 month I began to fill some positive progress in these damaged nerves and the emg exams also showed some electric mobility, and I became calmer to know that the nerve didn’t cut off totally.
But still I can’t feel some skin areas and can move my shoulder very badly. My pain is mallow and my self practice is deep and serious : I do electro and hydro therapy everyday and try to be aware to the hand progress.
My questions refer to the surgical need. the doctor assume that scar tissue is stacking the stretched injured nerves and I would like to know if its necessary to have a surgery a.s.a.p or its possible to wait and see if things are going the positive way.
Thank u for hearing me. I would like to get some answers from u, not only about my surgical question but about anything that flips up.

Sholom Shahar,

So sorry to hear about your accident. My son at the age of 22, 4 years ago he also was in a motorcycle accident. He has surgery 3 months later. And we were told that scar tissue would form and he would need to have the tissue removed for the nerves to continue to grow.

I am glad to hear that you are feeling something, as he has no feeling from his shoulder to the tips of his finger.

You have come to the right site as there are others who have also been in accidents and will probably be able to answers your questions.

I wish you the very best of luck. Please let us know how you are as time goes on.

Shalom, Shalom Karen
