hey guys..its been almost five years since my bpi injury..the challenges r going to be hard..just thank the lord for life and family for it i never had them,i would have given up..i commend this guy for posting this video cuz this injury is very draining..aloha 2 u all and god bless..
this is an amazing video.. i had a car crash 2 months ago.. hit a wall at 150kmph.. i have lost all sensations and movements in near the shoulder bicep triceps area.. doctors tell me my arm is never going to be normal.. i m just 20 years old and had lost all hope until i saw this particular video.. nice to know i m not alone and there are others out there too!
hello there :) am vyshnavi aged 23... i was thrown off the bike while i was riding pillon ... i had a devastating brachial plexus injury ... C6,C7,C8 n T1 avulsion . i underwent a nerve grafting surgery 4 weeks ago n still see no signs of recovery .. i do aggressive physio therapy everyday . please tell me how long did it take to see ur first sign of recovery post operation ?
Hey i had same injury. 'got' it from a bike accident also. Here is my status: I can feel some parts and have some moves, but my forearm and finger are most injuried. My elbow also dont move, so its dificult to use my arm. My radial nerve is the most affected, so my thumb is 'dead'. But I'm starting to have some biceps contractions and doc said it's is so good. Since 2008 I'm in that condition and I hope we all get back to 'normal' life. We could exgange some experiences and talk more about that.
hi man ...hv same kinda injury .. my nerves roots were fine but branches were damaged and was not able to move my hand .. so 4 long grafts r there 22,25,20,40 cms.was operated on Sep 2010 now except writ n finger all movement r normal.. these days i can see little finger movement... Do more n more exercise n do stimulation daily
Awesome to see you proving them wrong! 8 weeks ago I hit a deer on my bike at 120km/h and have b.p.i. too, though not as severe as yours. Legitbeast999: don't cancel your sports career yet - nerves can re-grow. Muscles will get their strength back. If your joints are stiff from lack of movement, this can be worked on too. Keep telling yourself that you can... no, WILL... do it, and be patient, it likely won't happen as fast as you'd like.
@jimmyoatway did you kill the deer, cause when i hit the wall last year it nearly killed me...bpi in da house....f..ck i hate my life.... starting pool exercise today.... peace
hi buddy!! congrats for that achievement. By the way...what happened to you? I mean how was the accident and tell us if you received surgery after that and ohter importan things you wanna share.....
I'm 13 and got this injury and cant use my deltoids biceps or triceps, i can use my forearm though, it happen from hitting a tree from a accident, this runed my sports and weight lifting career. im wondering how long my recovery will take.
hey man sorry to hear that, It took me 2 years and about 4 months to get where I am in this video, But everyone is different with recovery time. I have been getting alot of question about this and will be posting a video with in a week talking about it so check in.
Yes and no, I had pins and needles feeling only when some one or something touched my arm. Now march 14, 2010 I have feeling to my elbow from my shoulder kinda returned to normal.
I can tell you why you have feeling or sensation, the nerves in your arm, theres five nerves that come out of your spine, then they go down to three which is called the brachial plexus then back to five,...some control your motor skills when others are for feeling. and nerves are kinda like roots from a tree your back is the tree and they are all kinda interlinked so, with out knowing which nerves you hurt its hard to tell you why.
1% that I would ever move it.I was bad I hit a tree and ripped everything,....they took nerves out of my left leg and giraffed them in. .....theres hope just try your hardest and don't give up,......so many times I wanted to give up but never did!!
Yes. I have been there to. I had lost ALL movement. Doctors laughed because of my massive muscle wastage. It took me two years and many tears but it can be done. I am now a Judo Coach again at a top centre in England and an Elvis tribute singer. Thank god for not giving up. Go man Go.
yeah, I read one of your comments on another page, and I was also in a motorcycle accident. I had a nerve graft done in dec. 2007 by a doctor that was at the mayo clinic,......every good but only got bicep,tricep and deltoid,...hope for more but we'll see I have the name of some doctors in PA. Hope your son feels better, It sucks, trust me I know
its been,....2 years and 5 months,.....2 years and 1 month post surgey..... you have to have the nerve gaft done 3 to 6 months after the injury. and they tell you 18 months if you don't see anything then theirs no hope. I first felt movement ahhhh,... about a month ago so 2 years or 24 months ,.... best thing is keep up with using a muscle stimulator every other day, that helped me alot.
