<r>Hiya Gina, I don't want to come off as a naysayer but I think you 2 should wait just a little while before trying to conceive kids. I'm not trying to scare you but I work in the field involving developmental and handicapped children and adults. <br/> <br/> Definately discuss " THE WHOLE THING " w...

My emg specialist is obpi. He singlehandedly ( no pun ) diagnosed the extent of my injury. Even performed the surgical emg directly to my spine.

I must say meeting him was rather inspiring !

<r>My main surgeons card reads " hand and reconstructive surgery ". Sounded good to me ? What the heck was I gonna do ? After I figured out the " in's and out's " of it I realised I was in the best hands possible for my type of injury. In fact it was the Emg Dr. ( emg being a nerve conduction test )...

<r>Hi Karen. My name is Mike but I'm better know as Mikeyb around here and the other msg board. It really is a small world as I'm from London Ont. So we aren't that far away.

<r>Yup I've been thinking about it Jack. 4 and a half years on. I hadn't seen my surgeon for almost 2 years and the second word out of his mouth was " have you ever thought of amping your lower arm ". <br/> <br/> They did a great job of strengthing my upper arm and elbow but the hand and wrist just ...

<r>Hi guys, I haven't been around for a bit. I tbpi'ed my right dominant arm aug 98. C8 and T1 nerve roots avulsed. <br/> <br/> I had reconstructive surgery 3 months post accident. To date my upper arm has regained most of it's previous movement but my hand and wrist is still negligable ( fail ). My...
