<t>My son had his accident in Aug 04, he had just graduated from H.S. He has his own lawn mowing business (he does the work) and he works for a construstion company (out in the field), he can also weld. This injury does not have to keep you from working and making a living. You just adapt and keep o...

Thanks for the correct spelling of the doctors name in Virginia. The guy at my church had his surgery about 18 months after his accident.

My son who is 20 now. Had his surgery done by Dr. Nath in Dec. 2004. He did a great job and started seeing results in just a coulpe of months after the surrgery.


Best of Luck

Sorry to hear about your injury. I would go to a BPI doctor a.s.a.p. My son went to Dr. Nath right there in Houston, he would be a good start and close by.


Good Luck

<t>My son had his injury in August 2004 and through my son we met a man who goes to our church that has the same kind of injury. His was 30 years ago and there was a doctor, I believe in Virginia, her name is Julie Teres (the spelling on the last name is not correct). She still is in practice, but I...

Zoe,

Dr. Nath did surgery on my son in Dec. 2004. He was 19 at the time. He did really good with his recovery, it was about three weeks, after we left the hospital and could start OT at four weeks. Just do excatly what the doctor orders.

<t>I agree with LizzyB, about the RDS pain and TBPI pain. My son had the trial stimulator implanted back in October. He did not like it in his body at all. He had the Dr. take it out in 5 days. It did help with the pain somewhat, but not worth all of the trouble. Besides feeling the stimulation in h...

<t>Cody's doctor wants him to change from Neurontin to Lyrica, but one of the warnings is that if you are a male in child bearing years you could become less fertile and cause birth defects. I would like some normal grandchildren sometime in the future. So right now he is sticking to the neurontin, ...
