<t>Aloha<br/> I forgot to mention that you will get more response to your questions if you put them into the subject line. This way, if someone is browsing the titles, they can see it immediately rather than having to read through all of the postings. I can assure you that you will get better result...

<t>Welcome Aloha!<br/> I have found much useful information on this board. As with many message boards people come and go and hopefully find the help they need and can get on with living their lives as fully as possible. Sometimes it is just very difficult for some to do a lot of typing when coping ...

<t>Beverly,<br/> It was a long 3 year struggle, but I won my case more on the basis of how the chronic unmanagable pain and depression affects my daily life, moreso than the disfunction of a limb.<br/> This injury has thrown my entire upper body out of wack...shoulder instability, spinal disk issues...

It seems that all of the doctors are baffled by this injury and most underplay its consequences. Good to hear you are not coping with too much...

<t>Please read through all of the posts on this forum regarding winging scapula...some others, including myself incurred this injury during an unrelated surgery.<br/> My best advice is still to search for "Steven Fromm" on the web. He, in my opinion, has the best resource for info on this type of ne...

<r>Tracy, I believe that James has had this surgery with some success.<br/> If you go back through the postings here you can find his contact information.<br/> I know there have been others, but can't fine them offhand. If you take some time to go way back through the posts under the "winged scapula...

<t>Dina<br/> I was in a state of shock reading your story...it could have been written by me word for word (exchange the gall bladder surgery for ruptured bowel).<br/> I was treated the same way...dismissed. I was told it would heal...it didn't. I was told I should not be in this much pain...I am. I...
