You seem to be the go to girl,so I am going right to you. I am seeing a specialist and don't know what to ask him, or if he knows much about BPI.Plus he is the doctor that my company is sending me to. I work at UPS and at times I can throw up to 10000 LBS in 10 min.( I used a calculator) I feel my arm going numb more each day.I don't know if he will look out for my best interests. What would you ask him?
Thank you very much for the help

I will reply when I have more time Luke.
I hope some of the other OBPI's will chime in too.
We have tons of questions... for new doctors.

I am off to Thanksgiving Dinner and won't be back until late tonight...
I'll get back tomorrow.
Have a good day

I hope you havent gone yet, I take it that you sort packages off the primary? you should ask the doctor if he is going to a EMG, nerve test. I also want you to surf the net for ( streach nevre and fiber damage) Do you have cramping and pain . Tell him you symtons sometimes it help by righting them down. I have had erbs from birth 1951. Tom
