I think you should know that there is a board for OBPI/adults at this website and most birth injured post there
Welcome to the boards...

Kim
Most of the parents of obpi post on the General Message board and have tons of information on surgery...

Not that you are not welcome to post on all boards but the Adult/obpi and General Message boards will be the place for the particular information you are both looking for...

Hey Hello- Bill in Harrisburg, PA-truck driver (well, WAS a driver) Right BPI , avulsed c-5, and now looks like c-8-T1/first BPI surgery now for 9/2/04, looks not so good. But, accident (door hit, 15,00 pounds per square inch, 50 miles per hour, keep getting worse since Dec 03, when I got whacked.
Just began Neurotin on Weds, works about 5 hours and whoa! Pain attacks.
Shoot.

Hello, my name is shahar (means "dawn" in hebrew) and I'm from israel. 6 month ago I had a motorcycle accident in which I strech my left C 5-6. My progress is very slow and I think of coming to the US to check my problem deeper.I have no pain, thank GOD and I'm a little afraid of causing myself some pain after that surgical treat.
Thank & Bless you People.

Hi. I've been using this web site for the last 2 years. Y'all saved my life.
My accident happened on 9/24/01 at age 54 while on vacation in Hawaii; a large tour bus with brake not properly set rolled down a hill and struck me from behind as I talked with a very nice Hawaiian lady. The bus proceeded up an embankment, then reversed course and rolled over my right side: injuries included neck broken in several places, broken scapula, multiple rib fractures,right side of diaphram paralyzed, bruised heart and liver, brain injury, groin wound, and brachial plexus injury w/ avulsion of C5 thru T1.
You can bet that's a vacation I'll never forget.
