I know I have significant scar tissue on my brachial plexus. Until recently, I hadn't even considered more surgery. But, it's been 10 years of this mess and pharmacological pain management isn't helping much.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has had re-do surgery.OOozier

Thanks,

Hi. I haven't. Had a redo surgery. I hope u went back to ur surgeon when things Bc worse. My surgeon Dr D. In Boston. told me scar from surgery occurs within 3-6 mos.
He also told me he's never had reoperate on his patients but has redone other drs
patients. If u want an expert opinion he would be a good bet. I v e heard he doesn't do phone interviews. Where do u live?
