Thanks! I am so glad I didn't offend.

at Ann Arbor, Plastic Surgery Reconstruction for nerve would be who he needs to see. I don't know that neurology would even need to be involved. When I had to get in with plastics they worked me in within a week due the potential need for quick action for motor nerves. Neurology was not part of any of those consults.

My PM&R guy took a look with US at multiple nerves to make sure nothing had really obviously scarred back down post-op. He was even able to peek at the small branches. It was nice to have them looked at and have that reassurance.

Gaining muscle mass is a great sign! That is a good solid signal of healing. I hope he doesn't have to have repeat EMG too. If he is making steady progress that is measurable it should be avoidable.

What a brave young man! It is hard going through all that. Please tell him to keep up the good work and that I said his courage and Persistance will get him through this. That and a lot of support from Mom and Dad.
