<t>I am not sure who did your surgery but for the most part there is a little slack left in the nerve during the grafting process. My daughter is a toss and turner in her sleep and that worried me at first, she also tends to sleep on her bad arm for some reason. I spoke with her doc and he said no f...

<t>I just got a call back from a rep that deals with the stem cell procedures in China and she will be emailing me the information today.

<t>Kiana had her surgery performed in St Louis in March by Dr Borschel and Dr Tongue. I dont think I have ever met any Dr with a better bedside manner than Dr Borschel. He has literally spent hours with us on the phone discussing everything from action plans to recovery. 2 weeks ago Kiana had small ...

<t>My daughter had a similar accident on November 18th of last year. She had a flaccid arm with excruciating pain through most of the day. She had her primary surgery 3 months ago in St Louis. For 1 month after that she was on her usual meds of Lyrica 2x/day, Tylenol and oxycodone when it was very i...

<t>Hello Danny,<br/> <br/> I am glad you found the forums! I will try to answer a couple of your questions, I am no Dr but I have done extenseve research on TBP injuries since my daughter had her mx accident.
