Oh wow. So there is nothing for you to work towards as far as improving symptoms? I wasn't aware that nerve injuries were so permanent. So let's say, in the event that I do have an injury to the long thoracic nerve, would my only option be surgery? I absolutely HATE surgery. everything about it. Electing to have surgery on my shoulder is what put me into this situation in the first place.
