Dr. Tibone is a world class shoulder and knee specialist that treats major league sports professionals, Lakers etc, and can possibly point you in the right direction. He's operated on me twice and helped me on the path to getting my Brachial Plexus Injury dealt with. I only recommend him because of the broken collar bone and it impinging on the nerves. If you want to deal with the BPI as a whole I recommend that you travel further. I ended up at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota after traveling as far as London to find the best medical attention possible.

If the injury is a matter of getting the bone out of the nerve's pathway, then Tibone can get you there well. But if it is more than that, go further, like the Mayo Clinic.

Time is a serious issue since it has been so long, so you may want to consider not wasting it, and going straight to the Mayo.

Best of Luck,
Christopher
