<t>Sadly, I believe we all suffered much more than our BPI when our accidents happened. I hit a tree head on going 55 MPR on motorcycle, no helmet, so I too had head injuries. The boy driving had a helmet and was killed. I had 3 nerves avulsed from my spine. <br/> I am amazed back in 87' that doctor...

<t>Mardelle<br/> I, too, am a female and I have had this injury for 22 years, Aug 1987 was my injury. What extaclly is your nerve damage? Alvused, stretched and what nerves were effected. I am raising 4 children and I recently had shoulder surgery to correct my subluxed shoulder. According to Mayo c...

the issue of the leg being effected was resolved, I had the surgery after Angela and my legs were perfectly fine. With every surgery they make things better and easier for the patient.

As you know, Angela, I will be in week 4 of this lovely cage, as you called it, hee hee. I too had the same surgery as Angela. I'm in week 3 and I feel pretty good. I just want to ...

AND????? I'm looking for feed back?

<t>I also heard terrible things about DREZ; many possible complications can happen and it doesn't last forever. After hearing I chose not to go with DREZ.<br/> However, I am very glad you had success but there many cases posted on this board regarding the negatives. <br/> Defintly talk to your docto...
