  • my bud went through hell. hit a tree with a snomobile. right arm. fingers etc. Went to Mayo. Really on her way. Lots of surgeries since. She is a fighter and will get as much as she can. Its not easy.

  • Lier, 7 weeks after surgery you can´t see any result, the axon grown 1 mm.per day then you need at least 1year ( 365days = 365 mm)

  • heyy, my dad has this injury, 2 and a half years later and still no movement or feeling. nerve transfers and grafts (i have no idea how to spell!) so its lovely to see someone with a success story :):) x

  • wassup bro..got my b.p.i. bout 4 years ago from an atv accident.6 months after the accident,had a nerve graph surgery.(fricken hurt-still hurts)..i thank god for the best wife and kids for helping me thru the tuff times.god bless you and good luck on your recovery...ALOHA

  • i had my injury from a football collission. 5 weeks out of surgery, still no movement. good luck to you guys!

  • i just had surgery for my bp injury, i couldnt live my arm up above 90 degreese, i hope it works

  • I got my BP injury when i was born, im 25 years old now, does anyone knows if i can get a surgery to fix it? or am i too old for it?

  • ah you might be to old for anything in the usa but canada has some good doctors for surgerys. I got some names and address's

  • Add me. I have the same problem. i too have a BP injury from birth. And yes you can.

  • oh god there is hope ...my son lost the movement in his arm from a motorcycle accident ....all i can say is mayo clinic is the best....but his ins wont pay for it....im dieing inside his mother :(

  • Much much would it cost? :/

  • 150,000 to 170,000 my son lots the nerve to his thumb and pointer finger so that will never come back...how did your happen?

  • nice. best of luck. was hit by reckless driver 2 months ago while jogging at 9am, and now i cant use my arm. cant feel it, either. can only use weak intrinsic muscles of hand, but have dull sensations of feeling there. (hot, cold, pin prick)

    most likely erbs palsy, but have mri and emg coming up to differential the dx.

    either its growing slowly, need surgery, or i'm screwed.

    good luck to you all.

  • if it is Brachial Plexus call mayo clinic dr spinner dr shin in rochester mn their the one to fix this .....

  • the weird thing is that i got my BPI through a car accident...

  • well i got mine from my parents who fractured my wrist in 2 places when i was a baby, needless to say they were charged with neglect and i no longer live with them.

  • good to read that i am not on my own. january this year motorbike accident, my right arm is dead from shoulder down.July they are doing nerve conduction test again. Have heard talk of transfer, its frustrating not knowing.

  • wish i could do that

  • Dude cheers for oytting this on the web it gives me hope. I had the nerve re-implantation surgery last week and the results seem a long way off but your vid makes it plain that it shoyld be worth the wait.

  • wow, my dad has the bracial plexus injury, and to be honest things are pretty tough. he did it in june, from a motorbike accident. hes just had a nerve transferred from his chest too his arm. they've told him that bkuzz of how bad it is, he will never get any feeling back in his hand at all. but they're hoping to get upper arm movement. but he is in so much pain. looks like your doing really well.
