United Brachial Plexus Network

<t>I understand. Me and my family have always been on the touchy side but after my accident I came back from california to have my family close and they didn't help much at all. If it wasn't for my girlfriend I'd be dead. <br/> <br/> Seriously I would have ended this pain my damn self. But she is my...

<t>I take 100mg Lyrica X3 a day, 25mcg/hr fentynyl X2 days, 7.5mg Percocet X 3 a day. I was on a combination of nuerotin and oxycontin for a little bit but it made me way too tired (I almost ran off the road twice on this). The Lyrica is wonderful I am not as tired but my concentration is not what i...

<t>I have had a left brachial plexus injury and been post op for about two years. I was on a jobsite and had a sudden onset of pain to my left bicep and shoulder. It was mostly in an area that had not bothered me much in the past. My breakthrough barely touches it and it is starting to really affect...

<t>I just started a fentanyl patch series after being on 30mg of Oxycontin and 15mg of percocet a day. I still take some percocet but less. <br/> Does anyone have experience with a fentanyl patch? On day 3 i get crazy; not able to sleep, increasingly anxious, and increased pain again. Does anyone kn...

<t>Ok i am confused.<br/> <br/> I have always want to do a triathlon as i was an avid swimmer and biker before my injury. The run was always what i felt would kill me, but now it is all i can do. How does everyone swim?<br/> <br/> With one arm? Freestyle? <br/> I probably have more use of my affecte...

<t>I tried the Tizanidine for back spasms i was having in my upper should. I am not sure if it worked or not. I am also on xanax for anxiety (.5-1mg as needed) and it seems if i mix these two things get crazy. I pass out and sleep walk and sleep scream at people and then wake up 4-6 hours later with...

<t>Yeah i tried it once right after my accident while i wasn't working and didn't have to worry about drug tests. It made me crazy anxious, is that normal or did i get a bad strain or something? If i lived where it was legal and i could get some controlled well grown stuff i might give it another tr...

<t>I have been having chronic fatigue that is starting to cause issues at work and getting to and from work. I know part of this is my current lack of exercise (which i am working on), but i was wondering if anyone new or has noticed is a Lack of vitamin D can cause this as well. My doctor ran a bun...

Dr Zager, At Penn performed my surgery. Two of them. I now have some bidcep and maybe a little should back as well. he is very good. i didn't expect to get as much back i have and i am not even a year out of surgery.

<t>james,<br/> <br/> this thread may be dead but i wanted to use it if you didn't mind.
