Any New Treatments

<t>Hello,<br/> It has been a long time since I posted. It is nearly ten years since my RTBPI. I had on surgery and have regained a lot of use. I just can't raise my arm to my head, chest level is as high as it goes. The pain is still as new as when it happened. I have been using Fentaynl patches, 50...

Re: New Doctor

<t>Hi Peggy, No, I won't being going to camp. Only because I made plans last February to go to Las Vegas to babysit for my daughter's 6 year old twins.

Re: Saw Another Doctor

Hi Courtney,
From my experience, I would definetly say...don't wait.
Get another opinion as soon as possible. Where I am, the doctors don't even know what a BPI is, so how could they treat it. That told me...let's wait and see.There is treatment out there...Good luck, Rhoda

Re: SURVEY: What are you doing for Awareness Week?

<t>Hi Francine, I gave out a lot of the silver ribbons. I gave some to an ER nurse and to a nuerologist at our local hospital. I wrote a letter to the editor and it was printed in our local newspaper today. I live in Southern New Jersey and when I talk about BPI's, the response is always "What's tha...

This year, I decided to buy some of the silver ribbon pins for awareness and share them with the RN's, PT's and OT's. While doing this I discovered one of the Aides ha...
