HI ALL

BEEN EDUCATING MYSELF OFF THIS SITE FOR THE LAST YEAR.HAD A MOTORBIKE ACCIDENT 14-01-2008,HEELED FROM ALL OTHER INJURIES EXCEPT FOR THE LBPI.HAD A NEUROLOGIST THAT WENT FOR THE WAIT AND SEE PROCEDURE,I EXHAUTED MY MEDICAL FUND AT THE TIME AND TAT WAS THE LAST OF THAT PROCEDURE SINCE I COULD NOT AFFORD HIM.
I REGAINED THE SHOULDER,LIMITED DELTOID MOVEMENT,FLICKER IN TRICEPS AND LIL BIT OR BICEPS MOVEMENT BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MOVE THE ELBOW.IM ON 75MG LYRICA AND 25MG AMITRIPTYLENE,GONNA TRY THE DL PHENYLALANINE CAUSE LYRICA IS NOT THAT GOOD.DR WANTS TO UP MY LYRICA BUT I NEED MY MEMORY FOR MY STUDIES,MECHANICAL DRAUTHING SO DL PHENYLALANINE IS A SAFER BET.
MAKING USE OF STATE HOSPITALS I FINALLY ENDED UP AT A BPI CLINIC 8 MONTHS AGO.SAW THE BPI DR IN NOVEMBER AND HE SAID THEY CAN OPPERATE TO REGAIN SHOULDER ABDUCTION AND ELBOW FLEXION.WHAT IVE LEARNER HERE ON THIS WEBSITE IS THAT OPPERATIONS SHOULD BE DONE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF INJURY.
MY QUESTION NOW IS,IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR ME SINCE MY INJURY WILL BE 2 YEARS OLD NEXT MONTH.

REGARDS
